UNITED STATES' REPLY TO PLAINTIFFS' OPPOSITION 
TO NAMED INDIVIDUALS' RESPONSES TO 
BILLS OF PARTICULARS RELATING 1'0 PLAINTIFFS' 
OCTOBER 19,2001 MOTION FOR ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 
Plaintiffs' opposition to the responses filed by the Named Individuals in their official and 
personal capacities fails to correct the critical deficiencies of their bills of particulars. More 
surprisingly, plaintiffs have completely ignored the impact on these proceedings of the Court of 
Appeals' July 18, 2003 decision. See Cobell Y . Norton, 334 F.3d I128 (D.C. Cir. 2003). Yet 
plaintiffs do not dispute that the charges they seek to bring against the Named Individuals derive 
from the same matters upon which the District Court based its now-vacated contempt decision, 
Cobell v. Novtoiz, 226 F. Supp. 2d 1 (D.D.C. 2002) (the "September 17, 2002 decision"). The 
Court of Appeals' ruling, coupled with the legal deficiencies of plaintiffs' claims, requires that 
these proceedings be terminated forthwith. 
I. The Court of Appeals' Ruling Requires Termination of These Proceedings. 
The Court of Appeals has now definitively declared that the specifications upon which 
plaintiffs base their allegations against the Named Individuals cannot serve as a platforni for a 
civil contempt proceeding. Cobell, 334 F.3d at 1 146 (treating District Court's contempt citations on all five specifications as "criminal in nature"). As the Court of Appeals explained: "Although 
one may be held in civil contempt for refusing to comply with a court order, a sanction for one's 
past failure to comply with an order is criminal in nature." Id. at 1 146-47. The bills of 
particulars, like the September 17,2002 decision, seek to impose punitive sanctions, rather than a 
coercive or compensatory measure, and therefore lack the essential characteristics of a civil 
contempt proceeding. 
As we pointed out in our June 2, 2003 opposition to plaintiffs' bills of particulars, the 
Named Individuals are not in a position to purge any of the supposed contempts of which 
plaintiffs have accused them, nor have plaintiffs even bothered to seek purgation conditions. See 
United States Opp. at 7-9, 19. Further, the Court of Appeals has made clear that merely seeking 
reimbursement of attorneys' fees incurred by plaintiffs' counsel in the contempt trial "cannot be 
considered relief for the underlying contempt" (Cobell, 334 F.3d at 1 145-46) and therefore 
cannot convert this essentially criminal proceeding into a civil one.' 
Plaintiffs have offered no explanation for persisting in their contention that these 
proceedings should be treated as civil in nature and subject to the lesser standards of civil 
contempt and the wide-ranging discovery practices of civil proceedings. Notwithstanding 
plaintiffs' intentional blindness, however, the Court of Appeals decision leaves no room for doubt 
that the proceedings arising from plaintiffs' October 19, 2001 show cause motion cannot be civil 
in nature. 
'Indeed, if it were otherwise, a party seeking purely punitive sanctions could deprive 
another of due process rights guaranteed by the Constitution simply by inserting a claim for 
attorneys' fees incurred in filing and pursuing the show cause motion. The Court of Appeals 
decision makes clear that such an attempt to subvert individual Constitutional rights would be 
improper. 
- 2 - Because these proceedings have potential criminal ramifications, and the allegedly 
contumacious conduct occurred outside the presence of the District Court, the Named Individuals 
are entitled to all the due process protections guaranteed by the Constitution, including trial by 
jury and proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Cobell, 334 F.3d at 1147. Likewise, as we argued in 
our June 2 opposition, the Special Master may not conduct an investigation or order discovery 
because the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure do not provide for such activities. The Special 
Master's role is limited, at most, to a legal review of the plaintiffs' bills of particulars.' 
In short, the matters raised in plaintiffs' motion and bills of particulars cannot be 
continued under the guise of a civil proceeding, and these proceedings must accordingly be 
terminated. 
*It should be noted that on May 29, 2003, Interior Defendants filed a motion seeking the 
recusal of the Special Master based on the accumulation and use of ex parte materials and the 
hiring of an interested party to work on an interim report. That interim report involved Interior's 
Eighth Quarterly Report to the District Court, which the District Court had addressed in the 
September 17, 2002 decision. Accordingly, the Master's reliance upon ex parte information and 
the retention of a biased individual to work on the interim report should disqualify him from 
reviewing plaintiffs' bills of particulars. Additionally, the Master has retained two individuals 
identified only by the initials "AW" and "JW" who have worked on the contempt matters referred 
by the District Court and for whose services the Court has ordered the government to pay in 
excess of $20,000. See Ex. 1-A to 1-C. We have twice asked the Master to disclose the 
identities and affiliations of these individuals, but those requests rcrriain unanswered. Ex. 2-A 
and 2-B. The failure to make these disclosures violates the due process rights of the Named 
Individuals, personally and officially, to the assurance of a review of the charges against them by 
an unbiased judicial officer, see Jenkins I.). Stei-larci, 849 F.2d 627, 630-32 & n. 1 (D.C. Cir. 
1988) (holding that 28 U.S.C. tj 455 applies to special masters), and is another basis for the 
government's objection to the Master's continued participation in these proceedings. 11. Plaintiffs Have Failed to Support Their Claims of Contcmpt. 
Plaintiffs' opposition makes no effort whatsoever to correct any of the serious deficiencies 
in the bills of particulars noted by the government and the Named Individuals in their personal 
capacities. Having failed to supply a factual basis for their claims - nearly two years after first 
accusing these people of contempt - plaintiffs' demand for a show cause order must be rejected 
as legally deficient. As we demonstrated in our June 2 opposition, plaintiffs failed to make out a 
claim for civil contempt, much less to meet the higher criminal standards that the Court of 
Appeals has declared applicable to the matters raised in the bills. Plaintiffs' bills are not 
sufficiently particular to demonstrate an intentional violation of a reasonably clear and specific 
order beyond a reasonable doubt.3 For these reasons, too, the present proceedings should be 
terminated immediately. 
The utter failure of plaintiffs and their attorneys to support the extremely serious and 
personally damaging charges with which they have assailed the Named lndividuals in pleadings 
filed on the public record and broadcast over the lnternet reflects both the mean-spiritedness that 
has unfortunately characterized their handling of this difficult case and an astonishing lack of 
'Plaintiffs make another desperate attempt to shift the burden of proof to the Named 
Individuals and even go so far as to claim that any who did not file a response to the bills of 
particulars should be subjected to a contempt trial. Plaintgs' Oppositinri to Named Individuals' 
Motions to Dismiss Plaintfls' Bills of Particulars at 1 & n. 1 (filed Aug. 4, 2003). As an initial 
matter, plaintiffs are simply wrong in claiming that Sabrina McCarthy and Edith Blackwell did 
not file responses to their bills of particulars. Both did, in their official and personal capacities. 
Former Interior Assistant Secretary Kevin Gover, who filed a response in his official capacity 
only, retains the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty and to invoke the Fifth 
Amendment's protection against potential self-incrimination. Plaintiffs cannot perpetuate these 
proceedings (nor can their attorneys continue to churn their billings) without the requisite 
quantum of evidence and without regard to the Named Individuals' due process rights. The 
absence of an adequate factual basis upon which a crimirial contempt finding could be based 
requires the rejection of plaintiffs' show cause motion as to Mr. Gover and all the other Named 
Individuals. 
-4- professionalism. Plaintiffs filed the motion upon which these proceedings are based almost two 
years ago. Some 17 months ago, in March 2002, the District Court ordered plaintiffs to lay out 
their allegations individual by individual. Despite the Court's admonishment, plaintiffs had filed 
only one bill of particulars (against Edith Blackwell) within the next year after the Court's 
directive. Thus, for almost two years, 37 individuals have been hanging in limbo waiting for a 
resolution of the serious charges leveled against them by the plaintiffs. These individuals have 
had to hire private counsel to represent them, particularly since plaintiffs claims have always 
included charges of criminal misconduct. Although they have had far more time to lay out their 
charges against these people than the Speedy Trial Act of 1974, 18 U.S.C. 4 3 16 1 et seq., would 
allow, the plaintiffs and their attorneys coniplain that they have been too pressed for time to 
identify the actual grounds for their claims of contempt. This is unacceptable and indicates that 
plaintiffs and their attorneys never conducted the reasonable inquiry required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 
11 before they launched their assault on these 37 individuals. At a very minimum, the plaintiffs' 
show cause motion should be rejected. 
CONCLUSION 
For the reasons stated above, the government urges that the proceedings against the 
Named Individuals be terminated forthwith.

Re: CobeU v. Norton, Civ. Action No. 96-1285 (RCL) (D.D.C.) 
Tracy L. Hi 
Commercial Litigation Branch 
Washington, DC 20006 
DearMr-Balm: , 
In reviewing the compensation request attached as Exhibit 5 to your May 2003 Report, we 
noted that you seek payment for work performed by individuals identified only as “JW’ and “AW.” 
These individuals are apparently assisting you with the backup tape contempt matter that was argued 
before you on April 23 and 25,2003. As you know, the govemment has in the past raised objections 
to proposals to “subcontract” work on the contempt matters that the Court has referred to you as the 
Special Master. In order that we may determine whether the employment of “JW’ and “AW’ raises 
any conflict of interest issues or is otherwise objectionable, we request that you inform us of the 
identities of these individuals, their legal qualifications and any affiliations they may have other than 
their employment by you in this matter. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear Mr. Balaran:

, 
On June 6,2003, I sent you a fetter requesting information about two individuals identified 
only by the initials “JW“ and “AW” who were listed in the invoice included in your May 2003 Report 
as hzving assisted you with the backup tape contempt matter. Possibly, my letter went astray in the 
press of other business. 1 am attaching a copy of it to this letter. We noted that “AW“ was listed again 
in the invoice included in your June 2003 Report. At this time, we again request the information 
sought in my June 6,2003 letter, 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Re: Cubell v. Norton, Civ. Action No. 96-1285 (RCL) (D.D.C.) 
In reviewing the compensation request attached as Exhibit 5 to your May 2003 Report, we 
noted that you seek payment for work pedormed by individuals identified only as "JW and "AW." 
These individuals are apparently assisting you with the backup tape contempt matter that was argued 
before you on April 23 and 25,2003. As you know, the government has in the past raked objections 
to proposals to "subcontract" work on the contempt matters that the Court has referred to you as the 
Special Master. In order that we may determine whether the employment of "JW" and "AW" raises 
any conflict of interest issues or is otherwise objectionable, we request that you inform us of the 
identities of these individuals, their legal qualifications and any affiliations they may have other than 
their ern9lo:ment hy w*! in t+k gatteq,.. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
