Filing # 35469862 E-Filed 12/11/2015 05:54:44 PM IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SEVENTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND FOR BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA Case No.: CACE 15-000072 EDWARDS, et at, Plaintiffs / Counterclaim Defendants, vs. DERSHOWITZ, Defendant / Counterclaim Plaintiff. DEFENDANT ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ'S OPPOSITION TO EMERGENCY MOTION TO SEAL Defendant Alan M. Dershowitz ("Dershowitz") respectfully files this opposition to non- party ("a") Emergency Motion to Seal, which seeks to hide from the public records a supporting Affidavit exhibit filed by Dershowitz as an attachment to his Motion in Limine. That Motion in Limine recounts communications between Dershowitz and counsel for non-party a, David Boies, among others, and seeks a ruling on the admissibility of that evidence. Non-party contends that the communications at issue were "settlement communications." The relevant meetings between Dershowitz and counsel for non-party David Boies, that are at issue and the subject of Dershowitz's Affidavit were not settlement discussions but rather were an attempt to resolve factual disputes between Dershowitz and a, who are not directly involved in litigation with each other. However, even assuming that characterization of the discussions as "settlement discussions" were correct, which it is not, there is absolutely no basis on which "settlement communications" qualify for filing under seal.
