COBURN & STEVEN SCHWARTZ: The United States has filed a letter at ECF 992, and requested that it be (1) sealed and (2) treated on a restricted basis under the January 24, 2025 Protective Order. The relevant standards are met and ECF 922 shall be retained under seal, and treated on a restricted basis. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/7/2025. (ps) (Entered: 03/07/2025)

3/7/2025984TEXT ORDER as to GORDON J. COBURN & STEVEN SCHWARTZ: By ECF 978, the United States has sought to seal the materials at ECF 980. For now, the materials at ECF 980 are received under seal. The sealing standards are easily met with respect to some of the materials. But as to other materials at ECF 980 --- seemingly public court filings, for example --- it is not clear how sealing meets the relevant legal standards. The United States shall seek partial unsealing or explain its position --- on or before March 10 at 5:00pm. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/7/2025. (ps) (Entered: 03/07/2025)
3/7/2025983TEXT ORDER as to GORDON J. COBURN & STEVEN SCHWARTZ: The motion at ECF 977 is denied without prejudice to refiling either on or before March 11 at 9:00am or after jury selection is underway. The Court set a page limit, see ECF 928, and no added pages were sought by the United States. A letter-brief that incorporates by reference prior, longer briefing, as the brief at ECF 977 does, is not consistent with the Court-set page limit. So Ordered by Judge Michael E.

3/6/2025976TEXT ORDER: The letter filed by the United States at ECF 973 can be sealed in part. But it is not clear why certain aspects of the letter warrant sealing. On or before March 7 at 1:00pm, the United States shall (1) explain why the full letter can be sealed, or (2) file with the Court a partially redacted copy of the letter, along with an explanation for why the redacted portions cannot be made visible on the public docket. In the meantime, the letter at ECF 973 shall remain sealed. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/6/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 03/06/2025)
3/6/2025975TEXT ORDER: By letter dated March 5, see ECF 973, the United States seeks to seal the letter at ECF 968. Its basis for this request is stated in relatively spare fashion, and it is not clear how the stated basis for sealing is connected to the substance of the letter at ECF 968. Should the United States wish to renew its application for the sealing of ECF 968, the United States shall explain more fully why sealing is appropriate in a letter to be filed on or before March 7 at 11:00am. In the meantime, the letter at ECF 968 shall remain sealed until further order of the Court. The United States shall promptly convey this Order to the author of the letter at ECF 968, so that he may weigh in as to sealing should he wish to, also by March 7 at 11:00am. The Defendants, who were carbon-coped on the letter at ECF 968, may provide their views, too, on the same timeline. No letter may be more than one page. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/6/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 03/06/2025)

3/5/2025965TEXT ORDER: The Court directed the parties to state whether the "clock" established by the Speedy Trial Act of 1974 is currently stopped or is currently running. See ECF 961, 963. The United States stated that, in its view, the clock is stopped because of the pendency of a particular motion. See ECF 962. The Defendants focused on the same motion. See ECF 964. It appears that the parties have zeroed in on the referenced motion because in their view it is the only pending motion that currently stops the clock. But that is not crystal clear. Each party shall file a succinct letter today before 11:30. It shall list each motion that, in that party's view, leaves the Speedy Trial clock stopped at this moment. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/5/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 03/05/2025)

3/4/2025963TEXT ORDER: In response to the letter of the United States at ECF 962, two things. First, the Defendants shall file a succinct letter indicating whether they agree or disagree with the first two statements made by the United States, as to the time remaining on the Speedy Trial Act "clock" and as to whether that "clock" is currently tolled. If the Defendants disagree with either of these two statements, they shall explain the factual and legal basis for their position in a letter of no more than two pages. The letter shall be filed at or before 9:00am on March 5. Second, the United States has indicated that it will provide by March 5 an update as to the Court's third request. The United States shall do so in a succinct letter, to be filed on March 5 by 5:00pm. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/4/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 03/04/2025)
3/4/2025Letter from United States re ECF No. 961 (NAVARRO, RACHELLE) (Entered: 03/04/2025)
3/4/2025961TEXT ORDER: The Court has conducted the conference alluded to at ECF 958. The conference, described in ECF 958 as a telephone conference, took place in mixed fashion; some participants were on the telephone, some were on video. The conference hewed to exclusive consideration of the medical issue alluded to at ECF 956 and ECF 938. An application to seal the transcript of the conference was made by a party, and the application was granted by the Court; the standards for sealing the transcript were met. In light of the information received at the conference, the Court's determination is this: based solely on the medical issue, jury selection in this matter must be adjourned, from March 5 to March 17. Around 15 minutes before the previously-scheduled conference was to go forward, the United States made a filing seeking a longer trial adjournment, on a different basis. The United States shall file a brief letter before 3:00pm today indicating three things. First, how many days, in its view, remain on the "clock" with respect to the deadlines established by the Speedy Trial Act of 1974. Second, whether, in its view, the Speedy Trial clock is currently stopped or is currently running. And third, when the United States will be ready to convey its position as to whether the Speedy Trial clock would or would not run during the 180-day adjournment it seeks. After receiving the letter, the Court will establish an appropriate schedule for possible further filings, including from the Defendants. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/4/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 03/04/2025)
3/4/2025Transcript of Pretrial Motions and Evidentiary Hearing as to GORDON J. COBURN, STEVEN SCHWARTZ held on February 28, 2025, before Judge Michael E. Farbiarz.

3/4/2025958TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the filing of the United States of a few moments ago. See ECF 956. The Court had previously scheduled a telephone conference for 10:00am today related to the medical issue at ECF 938. That conference will go forward, and will focus solely on the medical issue. After the telephone conference, the Court will seek further views from the parties, if any, as to the filing at ECF 956. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/4/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 03/04/2025)
3/4/2025Letter from District of New Jersey United States Attorney (NAVARRO, RACHELLE) (Entered: 03/04/2025)
3/4/2025955TEXT ORDER: The motion of the United States as to proposed expert Todd Rahn, see ECF 919, is denied, largely for the reasons stated by the Defendants at ECF 954. There is one qualifier. The filing at ECF 954 cites in passing the Supreme Court's decision in Diaz. The Diaz citation suggests the possibility that the Defendants may seek to elicit testimony through Mr. Rahn as to the mental state of industry participants or others. But there is no reference to any mental state testimony in the long 2023 briefing on this subject, see ECF 544, and there is no reference to mental state testimony in ECF 954 --- other than the glancing Diaz citation. In these circumstances, the Court does not understand the Defendants to have provided notice that they will seek to elicit testimony from Mr. Rahn as to the mental state of any person or group. They may not seek to elicit such mental statement testimony from Mr. Rahn without first applying for permission to do so, well in advance. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/4/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 03/04/2025)

3/4/2025952TEXT ORDER: Steven Schwartz's motion in limine number 2 is denied, largely for the reasons stated by the United States in its letters at ECF 925 and ECF 945 and in its earlier briefing on the issue. The Court will not belabor the various reasons the motion is denied. But some brief points. First, the longer, earlier briefing of the Defendants on this subject suggested a bit of an argument that the questioning of Mr. Schwartz was in some sense too coercive. But the witness who questioned Mr. Schwartz testified at a live hearing. He was steady and measured, even low key. Questions that on the page may appear to have had the force or edge of aggressive cross-examination were not posed that way, the Court finds --- although the Defendants can of course invite the jury to come to another conclusion. Intense badgering is not part of the mix here, and high-speed "tricky" questioning is not, either --- and that only increases the import of the answers Mr. Schwartz gave for purposes of the Court's 401 analysis. Second, the testimony is highly relevant under Rule 401 and there are only faint Rule 403 issues on the other side of the ledger. Third, various issues can be addressed by a limiting instruction --- making it clear that the law comes from the Court, that Mr. Schwartz's statements are not coming in against Mr. Coburn, etc. There is no reason to think a limiting instruction of this kind will not work. The Court's experience is that jurors in this District are attentive and focused, especially as to limiting instructions. The testimony is not too vivid to realistically put out of mind. And it is not hard for a juror to accept that what a lawyer says about his own knowledge of the law is simply not to be imputed to a non-lawyer --- who everyone understands is likely less well-versed in legal issues. This is true in general. And it is especially so when it comes to issues like facilitation payments and improper benefits (which could well seem technical to a non-lawyer) and willful blindness and red flags (which build to an extent on a person's pre-existing knowledge, which a lawyer can be expected to have more of). Fourth, the argument that the motion must be granted because other witnesses (character witnesses or expert witnesses) often cannot be asked guilt-assuming hypotheticals is far afield. And it is also flawed in any number of ways. One of them: the United States need not accept the argument Mr. Schwartz now all but makes, that his asserted failure to remember was true and meant that nothing had in fact happened --- and that because nothing had happened, the intent-related questions were simply pure hypotheticals, as abstract for Mr. Schwartz as they might be to a character witness being questioned at trial. Rather, the United States is free to understand Mr. Schwartz's asserted failures to remember as lies --- in which case the intent-related questions were not hypotheticals at all, and indeed affirmatively show consciousness of guilt, including on the theory that they allowed Mr. Schwartz to posture himself to DLA Piper as reliable enough to believe (because he knew the difference between legal right and legal wrong) when he said that he did not remember certain things. The United States is free to present evidence based on its theory of the case; it is not stuck with the theory of the Defendants. The argument that Mr. Schwartz was simply answering hypotheticals is an argument that can be made to the jury. But it is not a reason to keep the jury from hearing the answers he gave. Fifth, the ruling set out here does not mean that 2016 interview statements made by Mr. Schwartz that explicitly mention Mr. Coburn can be elicited. Those are on a separate footing. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 2/4/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 03/04/2025)
3/3/2025SEALING ORDER, that the un-redacted Transcripts of the court proceeding held on March 3,2025, in the above-captioned matter, shall be sealed. Signed by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/3/2025. (and) (Entered: 03/12/2025)
3/3/2025951TEXT ORDER: This text order resolves the various requests for relief at ECF 924 and ECF 926. As noted by the Defendants, see ECF 924, the Court has previously ruled that testimony from a Debevoise and Plimpton witness can come in at trial. That was because, as noted in court on July 2, there is a core of information to be provided by such a witness that is relevant under Rule 401. And there is no substantial outweighing under Rule 403 --- in part because the jury in this case will already need to be educated about internal investigations in light of the DLA Piper testimony that the United States will be offering. The Court will not revisit its ruling, though the 401/403 balance could quickly shift depending on how far the Defendants seek to go in their questioning. As to the privilege/work-product issues now raised by the United States, those are, as the Defendants note, not new. Direct testimony can be limited so as to avoid privilege/work-product issues, in the very tight way that was discussed on July 2 at pages 47-48 of the transcript. For any even potentially close questions, those can --- and shall --- be raised to Judge Hammer, and on an early basis. As to the problem of cross-examination of any Debevoise witness, there may conceivably be certain issues for the United States. But those are readily overcome. For example, the United States may wish to explore the incentives, practices, and investigative approach of the lawyers who conducted the L&T investigation. And especially if privilege/work-product issues prevent effective exploration of those issues the Court will permit the United States wider berth to put such information in front of the jury through another, non-Debevoise witness (or multiple witnesses). As to hearsay, the overwhelming majority of what might be offered by a Debevoise trial witness as to what he or she learned from directly conducting an interview would plainly be hearsay. But the absence of a statement as to a certain subject area is not generally hearsay. That is the import of the Fourth Circuit case cited by the Defendants. Therefore, a Debevoise interviewer who interviewed a substantial number of witnesses can testify that no interviewee said to him or her that the interviewee paid a bribe. (A question that aims to elicit that a particular witness said nothing about paying a bribe gets markedly further away from the Fourth Circuit case, and raises much closer hearsay questions --- to say nothing of much closer 401/403 questions.). So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 3/3/25. (ro, ) (Entered: 03/03/2025)

If any party seeks the filing of a revised Order, it shall file a revised proposed Order today before 4:00pm, under a one-sentence cover letter that indicates the views of each of the other parties as to whether the proffered revised proposed Order accurately reflects the agreement described in ECF 910. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 2/28/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 02/28/2025)
2/28/2025913TEXT ORDER: The Defendants' request at ECF 856 is denied, largely for the reasons stated by the United States in its response, in other filings, and orally. Whatever the ultimate contours of the relevant constitutional rights in play here might be, and in the absence of any meaningful factual argument from the Defendants as to bad faith, the remedies sought by the Defendants are entirely disproportional, given, among other things, the "firsthand" defense evidence that will be admitted at trial from India, plus the testimony of a United States lawyer, all of which has been discussed on the record and at length. Given the very narrow scope of the charged crime, and the "firsthand" exculpatory evidence that the Defendants will be putting on from India, there is no impairment of the Defendants' right to put on a full defense and to receive a fair trial. And it bears noting that the Defendants have plainly had ample access to Indian evidence; statements from L&T, for example, and the fact-gathering work that has been done by their investigators to interview multiple witnesses in India. The fact that that evidence is not ultimately admissible under Rule 401 and Rule 403 does not speak to problems in mounting a defense; rather, it speaks to the force of the evidence that the Defendant is being permitted to get before the jury --- "firsthand" evidence from multiple witnesses, and indeed witnesses that the United States will not be permitted to cross examine. The Court notes that over the many months, if not years, during which these issues have been live ones the Defendants have not sought discovery in relation to prosecutorial bad faith. The Defendants have opted, instead, to rest on the record; and that record, including the Court's observation in court of the AUSAs, does not show bad faith --- instead, it is marked by strong indications of both energy and a willingness to be flexible with treaty understandings so as to accommodate the Defendants. The Court, as noted, denies the motion at ECF 856. But it will reserve on the question of what the appropriate jury instruction might ultimately be here as to equal subpoena power.

2/28/2025908TEXT ORDER: The February 27 letter of the Defendants, at ECF 889, alludes to approximately 650 pages of materials. The United States shall promptly convey those to the Court for its review, including any associated cover letter. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 2/28/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 02/28/2025)
2/28/2025907TEXT ORDER: As to the February 27 letter alluded to in the ECF 903 letter of the United States, the relevant standards have been met and the February 27 letter shall be filed under seal and ex part and retained that way. As to the relief sought in the February 27 letter by the United States, the Exhibit A letters, as redacted, shall be filed on the public docket. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 2/28/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 02/28/2025)
2/28/2025905TEXT ORDER: The motion of the Defendants, at ECF 744 and ECF 882, is denied. This is largely for the reasons stated by the United States in its letter brief at ECF 902. In light of the evidence that will be put before the jury in other ways, see ECF 864, the proffered investigator testimony has very low incremental relevance, if any, under Rule 401. And any such relevance is easily outweighed by Rule 403 concerns. All else being equal, the admission of defense evidence that is not cross examined is unfair to the United States. And there would be obvious time-wasting, jury-confusion, and mini-trial issues with admitting the evidence, related, for example, to the incentives for truth-telling that witnesses outside of the United States have when talking to private investigators. And there would be similar issues as to how the defense investigators were hired, the directions they were given, their background, their general ethical obligations, etc. Moreover, the statements are hearsay, and there is no persuasive residual hearsay exception. Given the threshold 401 and 403 issues that would in any event preclude the admission of the investigator information, there is no reason here, especially in the absence of meaningful arguments from bad faith, to consider whether in other circumstances the Constitution might potentially require a different result. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 2/28/2025. (ro, ) (Entered: 02/28/2025)
2/28/2025904TEXT ORDER: As to the Defendants' letter at ECF 901, the United States may file a letter brief, if any, as to Ashok Upadhyay, Todd Rahn, or Alan Nadel on or before March 2 at noon. The Defendants shall respond on or before March 4 at 9:00am. The letters may be no longer than three single-spaced pages. Should the Defendants determine that they will want to allude to Brett Harrison, Charles Goodsell, or Leslie John, or their anticipated testimony, the Defendants shall notify the Court five calendar days in advance of doing so, so that objections, if any, can be pressed.

If the defendants believe a further loosening of the order is potentially helpful for the preparation of their defense, they shall promptly consult with the United States. The United States shall update the Court as to the result of any such consultations on or before February 28 at 9:00am, in a letter of no more than two pages. If the defendants seek to share information provided pursuant to the ECF 800 order with (a) other U.S. or non-U.S. lawyers or (b) U.S. or non-U.S. investigators, and the United States does not agree that this is appropriate, the February 28 update letter of the United States shall explain in detail both why such sharing is not appropriate and the conditions under which such sharing would be appropriate.

7/21/2022381TEXT ORDER as to GORDON J. COBURN, STEVEN SCHWARTZ: The motion hearing scheduled for July 25 and 26, 2022, will be held by video conference. The CDC has once again designated the Community Level status in Essex County as HIGH, causing the Court to reinstate the masking requirement for all public areas of the Newark Courthouse, effective July 15, 2022, and the standing orders regarding remote proceedings remain in place. Because this proceeding will likely be somewhat lengthy and will involve a fairly large number of participants, many of whom will have traveled, the Court believes that the risk of in-person proceedings is not warranted. The Clerk will post instructions for participation in these video proceedings. So Ordered by Judge Kevin McNulty on 7/21/2022. (nic, ) (Entered: 07/21/2022)
