June 1, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 452 OPINION AND ORDER: It is undisputed that Mithani lied in his deposition when he stated that he had not deleted any text messages regarding company business. Mithani deleted messages on his company-issued mobile device and his personal mobile device both before and after receiving the document hold notice. Vyera facilitated this loss of communications by providing Mithani with a BlackBerry device rather than the standard company-issued iPhone, which would have systematically backed up his messages. Finally, Vyera failed to provide Mithani with a hold notice until late 2018. Vyera's conduct constitutes spoliation and warrants sanctions. The plaintiffs have been prejudiced by Vyera's conduct, and they have shown that Mithani acted intentionally to deprive them of information that could be used in this litigation. They have also shown that Vyera facilitated that intentional misconduct by not timely advising Mithani of his obligations to preserve his communications and by providing him with a BlackBerry in violation of its normal protocol. In an exercise of discretion, however, this Court declines to impose the plaintiffs' proposed sanctions. As a result, Vyera's proposed sanction that it be precluded from calling Mithani to testify in its defense or introducing into evidence documents authored by Mithani is adopted. Should the plaintiffs offer Mithani's testimony or documents that he authored, the defendants will be limited by the doctrine of completeness in supplementing the record. (Signed by Judge Denise L. Cote on 6/1/2021) (mro)
June 1, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 451 OPINION AND ORDER: Shkreli's proposed sanction is adopted.

September 22, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 278 ORDER: On September 9, 2020, plaintiffs requested that defendant Martin Shkreli be required to provide a privilege log detailing the basis for any privilege claims over his communications with attorneys when those communications occurred over lines monitored by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP). On September 17,plaintiffs modified this request and now ask for access only for such communications between Shkreli and two attorneys: Kandis Kovalsky (attorney at Kang Haggerty and Fetbroyt LLC) and Scott Vernick (attorney at Fox Rothschild, LLP). The attorney-client privilege covers communications that are intended to be, and in fact were, kept confidential. United States v. Mejia, 655 F.3d 126, 132 (2d Cir. 2011). Communications made over a telephone or email system monitored by the BOP,1 which the prisoner knows is being monitored andrecorded by prison authorities, are not made in confidence and thus constitute[] a waiver of the privilege. Id. at 133. The fact that [the calls are] recorded amounts essentially to the presence of an unsympathetic third partyBOPlistening in. Id. at 134. As a result, Shkrelis communications with attorneys in BOP-monitored systems such as telephone calls and emails are notprotected by the attorney-client privilege. This Court exercised its discretion in the management of discovery to require plaintiffs to make reasonable efforts to screen from review BOP-monitored communications between Shkreli and attorneys identified by Skhreli. Shkreli identified fifteen attorneys at eight different law firms in response to the Order of August 20. Following that disclosure, plaintiffs have substantially narrowed their request, asking only for access tocommunications between Shkreli and two of his attorneys their law firms. Given that these communications, which are in the plaintiffs hands pursuant to a subpoena served on the BOP, were not confidential, it is hereby ORDERED that a telephone conference will be held on Tuesday, September 22, 2020 at 4:00pm to allow Shkreli to show cause why the plaintiffs may not review all of Shkreliscommunications with Kandis Kovalsky and Scott Vernick and their respective law firms that occurred over systems monitored by the BOP. The parties shall use the following dial-in credentials for the telephone conference:Dial-in: 888-363-4749 Access code: 4324948. The parties shall use a landline if one is available. (Signed by Judge Denise L. Cote on 9/22/2020) (gr)
