6 1 Q. Okay. But other than referring the two 2 parties to the Bar, you never entered, to your 3 recollection, striking a party's pleadings; is that 4 right? 5 A. That's right. 6 Q. Okay. I want to ask you a few questions 7 about the issue of striking pleadings. Would you agree 8 with me that courts generally disfavor a motion to 9 strike? 10 A. No. 11 Q. And that striking allegations from a pleading 12 is a drastic remedy to be resorted to only when required 13 for the purposes of justice and only when the 14 allegations to be stricken have no possible relation to 15 the controversy? 16 A. I think that's what some courts have said, 17 yes. 18 Q. And is it fair to say -- is that what you 19 represented to the court in response to 20 Professor Dershowitz's application to intervene? 21 A. That's right. 22 Q. And you wouldn't have represented that to the 23 court unless you believed it to be accurate; is that 24 right? 25 A. That's right. ROUGH DRAFT ONLY HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021829
