Subject:

LITIGATION REPORT - 1996 - 8 unitad statae v. rnnstructinn Prnducte Raenarch, Civ. No. 3:94MC112 (AHN) (D. Conn.,

decided Oct. 11,1996)

This is a long-running subpoena enforcement suit against a supplier of cement to the nuclear industry. Earlier this year, we wor an important victory in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit that (a) found the NRC subpoena enforceable despite a claim that the NRC lacked jurisdiction over the cement supplier, and (b) rejected the cement supplier's claim that many of the subpoenaed documents fell within the attorney-client privilege. Saa 73 F.3d 464 (2d Cir.1996), dierouad in Litigation Report 1996-1, SECY 041. Very recently, the Supreme Court refused to review the Second Circuit's decision.

See Order List, October 15,1996 (denying certiorariin No. 95-2007) (copy attached).

Even so, the cement supplier has refused to comply fully with the NRC subpoena, and has continued to invoke the attorney-client privilege. Working closely with the Department of Justice, we moved for a contempt order and for a writ of assistance to enforce the court of appeals decision. The district court now has denied our motion and refused to reconsider its denial. The district court instead has ordered the government to seek in camern judicial review of the disputed documents. The court intends to undertake a document-by-document privilege review.

As we view the court's document-by-document approach as incompatible with the prior court of appeals decision rejecting the attorney-client privilege, we are consulting with the Department of Justice on whether (and when) to appeal.

l The Commission 2

In ra Parfactinn Marvica Inc, No. 96-60311 (Bkrptcy Ct., N.D. Ohio, order issued Aug. 20, 1996)

As reported in Litigation Report 1996-6, SECY-96-155, this bankruptcy proceeding involves j

a bankrupt well-logging operation. In early July, we filed a pleading protesting against the i

bankruptcy trustee's planned abandonment of equipment belonging to the bankrupted company, because we were concerned that this could include sealed sources owned by the l

company. We then worked out an agreement with the court and the parties for the sale of the sealed ' sources to another business.

The settlemen't did not work out as planned, however, because two of the sealed sources proved to have a leak and because the site of the bankrupt's defunct business proved to contain some residual contamination. We then returned to the bankruptcy court, and after lengthy negotiations with the bankruptcy trustee and with the bankrupt's principal creditor, a local bank, we reached a fresh settlement agreement.

l The bankruptcy court embodied the new agreement in a court order. The agreement required, intar =H=, that the creditor bank and the owners of the real property where the j

bankrupt's business operated contribute money that would enable the trustee to dispose of the leaking sealed sources. The court order also provided that no property could be removed from the building without NRC approval. The NRC agreed to facilitate the removal of any leaking sealed sources. And an outside buyer agreed to purchase the remaining i

sources. This court order should wind up this unusual case.

C RULING ON PETITIONER'S MOTION IN)R RECONSIDERA2 ION c, -

Aun P;'TITronn2R'S NOTTON FOR MnTT OF ASSISTANCE 6-i Petitioner, the United States of America, moves Zor 4

reconsideration of the court's December 11, 1995 order denying its motion to hold the respondents, Construction Products Research, Inc. ("CPR"), Five Star Products ("IlliP") and E.'Nash Babcock (" Babcock"), in contempt for their failure to turn over certain documents.

Petitioner also applies for a writ of assistance to effect respondents' compliance with a judgment issued by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in connection with the production of these documents.

j For the following reasons, Petitioner's Motion for Reconsideration [ doc. # 101] is GRANTED.

Upon reconsideration, the court's original rul.ing adopting the Magistrate's ruling is re-affirmed.

The Application for Writ of Assistance [ doc. # 103]

is DENIED.

IBCLT.

On January 2, 1996, the Second Circuit effirmed this court's enforcement of an administrative subpoena issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (*NRC") to CPR, FSP and Rabcock, seeking 1

the production of employment records and employment related documents.

See United states v. Construction Products Romanvch_

Inc., 73 F.3d 4 64 (2d Cir.1996).

Prior to and subsequent to that ruling, the respondents have continually refused to turn over some of the requested documents because they claim that these are protected by the attorney-client privilege.

Among cther things, in affirming the enforcement of the subpoena, the Second Circuit stated that CPR, FSP and Babcock have failed to establish these claims of privilege.

Egg 73 F.3d at 473-474.

On January 26, 1996, in light of the Second Circuit's I

ruling, the government moved for reconsideration of this court's affirmation of Magistrate Judge Donna F. Martines's October 20, 1995 recommended ruling denying the government's motion for civil contempt and the respondents' motion for leave to file documents under seal for in c===rm inspection.

Sag un4&=A seme== wi Construction Producta Raamarch, Tn s".. Civ. No. 3:94MCll2 (D.

Conn. Dec. 11, 1995) (affirmation of recommended ruling by J.

Martinez).

On April 2, 1996, prior to a decision on its prior motion for reconsideration and after the respondents had continued to withhold allegedly privileged documents, the government applied, pursuant to Rule 70, Fed. R. Civ.

P.,

and the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. S 1651(a), for a writ of assistance to effect respondents' compliance with the second circuit's ruling.

In its application, the government requested that the court order the seizure of all unproduced documents covered by the 2

(San Pet'r's Application Writ Assistance other Appropriate Relief Effect Compliance Second T

Circuit's Final J.

[ hereinafter " Pet r's Application Writ"] at 2.)

The governme:.! bases both its motion for reconsideration and its application for writ of assistance on the argument that the Second Circuit has already decided the privilege issue.

(Eng Pet'r's Hot. Recons. Dis t. Ct. Den. Pet'r's Not. Contempt at 4-5; Pet'r's Application Writ at 2.)

It claims that the respondents are precluded from further asserting attorney-client privilege because the Second Circuit held that no privilege existed.

(.I,sL.)

The respondents claim that the proper procedure to adopt is for the government to make a motion to compel production of the privileged documents.

(San Resp'ts' Opp. Mot. Recons. at 2. )

A court would then inspect each document in c== ara and determine if it was protected by the attorney-client privilege.

(IsL.)

This is the procedure recommended by Judge Martinez in her ruling on the government's motion for civil contempt.

Saa und tad statas: v.

Construction Prodticta Rasaarch. Inc.. Civ. No. 3 94MC112 at 4-5 (D. Conn. Oct. 20, 1995) (recommended ruling by J. Martinez).

DTSCUSSTON At the end of its opinion, the Second Circuit stated:

We have reviewed Respondents' privilege log, and find it deficient.

The loa contains a cursory description of each document, the date, author, recipient and " comment."

Further, under a heading entitled " Basis of Clain," each of the documents is alleged to be an " Attorney-Client 3

The descrintinne a net e-nta m4=m1 v do not nrovi do anntirrh informatinn to munnort 1-he nef trilman claim, particularly in the glaring absence of any supporting affidavits or other documentation.

1 73 F.3d at 473-74 (*=ph==is added).

This came at the conclusion of an opinion affirming the enforcement of an administrative subpoena and was in response to the respondents' general claims of privilege as a defense to the subpoena. See. Construction Products. 73 F.3.d at 468.

The Court never inspected the documents to ascertain if any were in fact protected by the attorney-client privilege.

This court reads the above quoted language to mean that the Second Circuit considered the information before it to be inadequate to allow it to make a determination on the privilege issue.

The Court was not, however, ordering the alleged privileged documents to be disclosed.

While Judge Martinez advised the parties that the correct way to proceed was for the government to file a motion to compel production of the documents and allow a -judicial officer to inspect them in c-ara, no such motion has ever been filed. No judicial officer has,ever inspected the documents in em= ara to determine if they are in fact protected by the attorney-client privilege.

The court feels strongly that alleged privileged documents, particularly those alleged to be protected by the attorney-client privilege, should not be disclosed without being 4

1.

Appropriate, timely, adequate and sufficient notice of the Notice and Motion and the opportunity to interpose an objection thereto were given to and served upon all known creditors and other l

parties in interest in accordance with sections 363 and 545 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 6004 and 6007.

2.

With respect to the amendments to the Notice and Motion as agreed to by the parties, in that all parties affected by such amendments have agreed to such termd, no additional or further notice of the Notice and Motion as amended or the entry of this Amended order is necessary.

3.

As amended, the Trustee seeks authority and approval to sell the Trucks and Sources (as those terms are defined in the Notice and Motion), free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances to Best Wireline, Inc.

(" Rest Wireline 8) for an increased purchase price of Seventy Thousand Dollars ($70,000.00).

4.

As to the Sources to be sold to Best Wireline, only those sources found to be non-leaking and contamination free, based upon a review and inspection of the Sources, will be sold to Best Wireline.

Such sale and transfer of the Trucks and Sources by the Trustee to Best Wireline will be coordinated with and under the observation of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC").

5.

As to the sources found to be leaking radioactive i

material, the Trustee, with the assistance and cooperation of the 2

umm.t.ws

NRC, is authorized to undertake those steps necessary to incure their proper removal and disposal. The Trustee will also undertake those steps necessary to insure the removal and clean-up of any related items.

In addition, without admitting any liability as to i

the costs associated with the removal, disposal and clean-up of the j

leaking radioactive sources and related items, the Medfords have agreed to. pay to the Trustee, within ten (10) days of the entry of p

l this Order, the sum Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) as and for k

to allow the Trustee to retain from the proceeds of sale of the 1

l Trucks and sources the sum of Twenty-five Thousand Dollars i

($25,000.00), subject to the terms herein, as and for the costs a :d l

i hazards at the Premises that would prevent the removal of the remaining personal property or the use of the Premises.

After such I

notification by the NRC, the remaining personal property shall be i

I deemed abandoned without further order of the Court, and Huntington i

J National Bank shall have thirty (30) days to remove the remaining personal property from the Premises.

~

10.

The issuance of the written notice from the NRC as set forth in paragraph 9 above, shall not constitute a guarantee to any of the parties herein with " respect to the acceptability of the remaining personal property or the Premises for unrestricted use. or on any environmental matters, and does not foreclose the NRC from i

imw.i.wn 4

making recommendations to the parties regarding further actions related to the remaining personal property or the Premises.

11.

Should the costs and expenses to be incurred for the proper removal, disposal and clean-up of the leaking Sources and clean-up, removal and disposal of other contaminated material on the Premises, not exceed Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
