In Re JOHN DOE CORPORATION. JOHN DOE CORPORATION, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Appellee

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that internal investigation intended to persuade third parties that no irregularity had occurred was part of cover-up and thus upended any privilege
• noting that documents summarizing statements of employees do not reveal attorney’s impressions, and ordering disclosure based on Government’s showing of need
• determining that the government had demonstrated a substantial need for interview memoranda that “may be relevant simply for the fact they were made because they may tend to prove what Doe Corp. knew and when it knew it”
• involving the waiver of privilege by disclosing to a third-party a report prepared for the defendant prior to the government’s presentation of evidence before a grand jury
• where conflicts about the confidentiality of evidenti-ary materials arise in preliminary proceedings, in camera submissions provide a method of judicial resolution which perserves confidentiality when justified
• in camera, ex parte submission is appropriate where it is the only way to resolve an issue without compromising the need to preserve the secrecy of the grand jury
