• holding that “[e]ven if DeGeurin had asserted that the anonymous fee-payer was his client, it is not at all clear that the attorney-client privilege would suppress evidence of the fact of an arrangement or payment made for Reyes-Requena’s defense”
• finding Mike DeGeurin’s conclusory affidavit insufficient to demonstrate the privileged nature of the withheld name absent a showing that there was a confidential communication involved in the fee arrangement with Reyes-Requena
• noting that this principle is reconcilable with Jones
• rejecting amici curiae's proposal that the court \promulgate detailed guidelines governing the enforcement of grand jury subpoenas against attorneys\ since \[r]equests for general rules should be addressed to Congress or to the Judicial Conference of the United States\
• rejecting amici curiae’s proposal that the court “promulgate detailed guidelines gov- erning the enforcement of grand jury subpoenas against attorneys” since “[r]equests for general rules should be addressed to Congress or to the Judicial Conference of the United States”
• Jones \protect[s] a disclosure that would reveal the confidential motive for retention of the attorney.\
