United States Attorney's Office Southern District of New York 1 St. Andrew's Plaza New York, NY 10007 Re: United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, S2 20 Cr. 330 (AJN) Dear Counsel: Pursuant to the Court's Order dated June 2, 2021 (Dkt. 297), we write to provide the government with the defense's disclosures under Rule 16(b)(1)(A) and (b)(1)(B) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. As the government is aware, the defense is under no obligation to present a defense case and whether we will do so remains subject to the developments at trial. Nevertheless, in accordance with the Court's order, we provide below a preliminary list of documents that the defense may use in its case-in-chief, should we decide to present a defense case. We note that Rule 16(b)(1)(A) requires disclosure only of documents and other items that are "within the defendant's possession, custody, or control; and ... [that] the defendant intends to use ... in the defendant's case-in-chief at trial." Fed. R. Crim. P. 16(b)(1)(A) (emphasis added). Rule 16(b)(1)(A) does not require the defense to disclose, for example, potential impeachment evidence or documents that the defense may use to refresh a witness's recollection during the government's case-in-chief. See United States v. Medearis, 380 F.3d 1049, 1057 (8th Cir. 2004) (Rule 16(b)(1)(A) does not require disclosure of impeachment evidence); United States v. Moore, 208 F.3d 577, 579 (7th Cir. 2000) (same); United States v. Haffield, No. 06 Cr. 550 (JS), 2009 WL 10673619, at *1-2 (E.D.N.Y. Apr. 22, 2009) (same) (citing Medearis and Moore); see also United States v. Gray-Burriss, 791 F.3d 50, 57-58 & n.2 (D.C. Cir. 2015) (using documents to refresh recollection of government's witnesses not covered by Rule 16); United States v. King, 703 F.2d 119, 126 n.6 (5 Cir.1983) (noting that "even though the documents were excluded from evidence
