April 20, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 126 ORDER RE TRIAL CONDUCT. In order to facilitate the efficient presentation of the trial, it is hereby ORDERED, as follows: 1. Prior to any reference to a deposition or deposition transcript in the presence of the jury with a witness on the stand, the Court shall be furnished with a complete copy of the transcript of the deposition. 2. If counsel for either side wishes to offer in evidence or use for impeachment or otherwise any portion of a deposition, that counsel shall identify the deposition by name of witness and date, state on the record the page( s) and lines( s) of the transcript ( or corresponding video) to be used, and afford the adverse party sufficient time to find the reference and to make any objection before reading from or playing the portion of the transcript or video to which reference has been made. 3. In using depositions to interrogate a witness, examining counsel shall refrain from asking such superfluous questions as "Was your deposition taken in this case?," "Do you remember testifying that... ", and so on. Examining counsel instead shall indicate the page( s) and line(s) to which counsel wishes to refer, pause as indicated in paragraph 2 to permit any objection to be made and resolved, and-assuming that no objection is made or that any objection is overruled -read or play the testimony referred to following which counsel may put an appropriate question about the testimony- such as "Was that testimony true?" - to the witness.4.Counsel shall cooperate with each other in advising their opposite numbers as to the order of their witnesses and the expected duration of direct examinations or deposition read backs. 5. Each party shall have one or more witnesses in the courthouse ready to testify immediately after the conclusion of the testimony of the preceding witness. The failure to have a witness on hand to take the stand may result in an order that an offending party has rested his or her case. 6. There shall be no reference before the jury or the jury panel to any matters as to which admissible evidence has not previously been received or, in the case of opening statements, as to which the attorney lacks a good faith belief that admissible evidence will be received. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 4/20/23) (yv)
April 20, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 125 MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: #118 Letter Request for preliminary jury charge filed by Donald J. Trump. ENDORSEMENT : Mr. Trump's lead counsel expresses Mr. Trump's alleged desire to testify at trial but seeks an order from the Court excusing his presence unless either party calls him as a witness and, in the event he does not testify, instructing the jury that his "absence.,. by design, avoids the logistical burdens that his presence, as the former president, would cause the courthouse and New York City." Dkt 118. First, the Court neither excuses nor declines to excuse Mr. Trump from attending the trial or from testifying in this case. As far as the Court is aware, Mr. Trump is under no legal obligation to be present or to testify. The plaintiff has made clear that she does not intend to call him as a witness. The decision whether to attend or to testify is his alone to make. There is nothing for the Court to excuse. Second, the Court notes but does not accept Mr. Trump's counsel's claims concerning alleged burdens on the courthouse or the City were Mr. Trump to attend or testify. Mr. Trump is entitled by law to the protection of the United States Secret Service, which he now has enjoyed as a former president for more than two years. He has a right to testify in this case. As it would do for any person with business before the Court, the Court will do everything within its power to enable Mr. Trump to exercise that right. Moreover, it is entirely confident that the United States Marshals Service and the City of New York will do their parts in securing that right to Mr. Trump, just as they repeatedly have done in other cases involving security concerns. Moreover, the Court notes from Mr. Trump's campaign web site and media reports that he announced earlier this week that he will speak at a campaign event in New Hampshire on April 27, 2023, the third day of the scheduled trial in this case. If the Secret Service can protect him at that event, certainly the Secret Service, the Marshals Service, and the City of New York can see to his security in this very secure federal courthouse. Finally, Mr. Trump has been on notice of the April 25 trial date in this case since on or about February 7, 2023. Dkt 49, l(c). There has been quite ample time within which to make whatever logistical arrangements should be made for his attendance, and certainly quite a bit more time than the five or six days between his recent indictment on state criminal charges and his arraignment on that indictment approximately one block from the location of the trial of this case. The question of the requested jury instruction is premature. Mr. Trump is free to attend, to testify, or both. He is free also to do none of those things. Should he elect not to appear or testify, his counsel may renew the request. In the meantime, there shall be no reference by counsel for Mr. Trump in the presence of the jury panel or the trial jury to Mr. Trump's alleged desire to testify or to the burdens that any absence on his part allegedly might spare, or might have spared, the Court or the City of New York. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 4/20/23) (yv)

April 18, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 117 MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: #115 Letter Requesting Clarification of Jury Selection Process filed by Donald J. Trump. ENDORSEMENT: I take what I understand to be material inaccuracies in Mr. Tacopina's letter to be misunderstandings attributable to the fact that Mr. Tacopina was not present at the meeting attended by the Deputy Clerk, Mr. Mohan, and other counsel. The Court nevertheless provides the following information concerning the proceedings on Tuesday. 1. The entire jury selection process will take place in the Courtroom scheduled for trial in the presence of counsel for both sides. As it would be inconvenient to accommodate the entire panel in that room at one time, part of the panel will be held in a reserve room under appropriate court supervision and will see and hear all jury-related proceedings (save any sidebars) that occur in the Courtroom over closed circuit video. From time to time, it may be appropriate to bring prospective jurors from the reserve room to replace other prospective jurors who have been excused during proceedings in the Courtroom. The replacement prospective jurors will be voir dired appropriately in the presence of all counsel once they are brought to the Courtroom and seated. This is identical in substance to the manner in which juries were selected in this Court during the COVID pandemic. 2. Counsel for both sides have been requested to submit proposed voir dire questions, and both have done so. The Court naturally is taking those requests into account in formulating its examination of prospective jurors. Moreover, at the completion of the examinations of the panel in general and of specific individual jurors, counsel will have a further opportunity to suggest questions. SO ORDERED.

April 18, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 116 LETTER addressed to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan from Roberta A. Kaplan dated April 18, 2023 re: Plaintiff's attendance at trial (pursuant to the Court's April 10, 2023 Order). Document filed by E. Jean Carroll..(Kaplan, Roberta)

April 17, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 114 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS REQUEST TO ADJOURN TRIAL denying #106 Letter Motion to Continue. For the foregoing reasons, Mr. Trump's request to adjourn the trial (Dkt 106) is denied.The trial will commence on April 25, 2023. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 4/17/23) (yv)
April 14, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 113 MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: #112 Letter filed by Donald J. Trump ENDORSEMENT: Mr. Trump's motion to employ a written juror questionnaire in selecting the jury in this case is denied. The Court makes only these points as matters of emphasis: 1. This motion has been made without regard to the fact that the Court on April 10, 2023 stated that it would not use a jury questionnaire in this case. Dkt 105, at 5 n.8. 2. As the Court made clear in the April 10, 2023 decision, the law in this circuit is abundantly clear that the use of written jury questionnaires is entirely optional with the trial judge. What is required is that an appropriate voir dire by whatever means be used. That will be done. 3. This motion proposes the use of a juror questionnaire that- notwithstanding the Court's ruling that an anonymous jury will be employed- seeks to require prospective jurors to give their names, their employment, and the employment of all of their immediate family members. The Court denied the parties' request for their legal teams to access the jurors' names in its April 10, 2023 decision. Nothing between then and now has occurred to warrant revisiting that ruling. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 4/14/2023) (ks)

April 13, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 110 ORDER granting in part and denying in part #108 Letter Motion to Reopen re: #108 LETTER MOTION to Reopen Discovery addressed to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan from Alina Habba dated April 13, 2023. On April 10, 2023, plaintiffs counsel disclosed to the defendant that plaintiff-- who had testified at her deposition on October 14, 2022 that (a) no one else was paying her legal fees as "[t]his is a contingency fee case," and that (b) she was "not sure about expenses" (Dkt 108-1, Dep. Tr., at 209: 11-21) -- "now [i.e., Apr. 10, 2023] recall[ed] that at some point her counsel secured additional funding from a nonprofit organization to offset certain expenses and legal fees." Dkt 108-2 at 1. Plaintiffs counsel now advises that this assistance was secured in September 2020, well after the commencement of the first to the two closely related actions of which this is the later. In subsequent discussions between the parties' respective counsel, plaintiff disclosed the identity of the financial backer, said to be a prominent funder of Democratic causes, and of the not-for profit entity through which he apparently provided such funding. Plaintiffs counsel further represented that plaintiff "has never met and has never been party to any communications (written or oral) with anyone associated with the nonprofit." Dkt 108-3 at 1. On this basis, defendant moves for "(i) a limited re-opening of the discovery period restricted to investigation into the narrow source of funding issue, and (ii) a one-month continuance of the trial date... ; or (iii) in the alternative, that the Court permit an adverse inference instruction against Plaintiff with respect to her willful defiance of her discovery obligations." Dkt 108 at 4. SO ORDERED The question whether and when plaintiff or her counsel have obtained financial supportin this action has nothing directly to do with the ultimate merits of the case. See, e.g., Benitez v. Lopez,No. 7-CV-3827-SJ-SJB, 2019 WL 1578167, at *1-*2 (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 14, 2019). Although I do not nowdecide the question, it perhaps might prove relevant to the question of plaintiffs credibility, in view ofthe deposition testimony referred to above. Accordingly, I will permit a brief and carefullycircumscribed examination of that narrow question without prejudging the question of whether and towhat extent examination on this matter may be permitted at trial. Accordingly, defendant's applicationis granted, but only to the extent that (I) plaintiff shall furnish the defendant, no later than April 16, 2023,with documents sufficient to establish that the inception of the financing assistance for the Carrolllitigation in fact occurred in or after mid-2020, (b) any documents concerning the state of plaintiffsknowledge, if any, of the financing assistance as of the date of her deposition and as of the present, and(2) defendant may conduct an additional deposition of Ms. Carroll not to exceed 60 minutes in duration,unless otherwise ordered by the Court, which shall be (1) limited to the subject of Ms. Carroll'sknowledge of the financing assistance as of the date of her deposition and as of the present, and (2)completed no later than April 19, 2023. The motion is denied in all other respects save that the Courtreserves for determination at trial the matter of any requested adverse inference instruction. Trial shallbegin as scheduled on April 25, 2023 unless otherwise ordered. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 4/13/2023) (ks)

March 27, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 95 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON PLAINTIFF'S IN LIMINE MOTION granting in part and denying in part #72 Motion in Limine. The motion is granted in part and denied in part. Ms. Carroll has incorporated in her motion in Carroll II several requests for in limine relief on which the Court has not yet ruled but that Mr. Trump has not opposed. Accordingly, those requests are granted. Plaintiff's motion in limine (Dkt 72) is granted to the extent that: (1) plaintiff's prior consistent statements to Mss. Birnbach and Martin about defendant's alleged sexual assault are admissible; (2) the testimony of Mss. Stoynoff and Leeds regarding their experiences involving the defendant come within Federal Rules of Evidence 413 and 415 and will not be excluded under Rule 403; (3) defendant is precluded from giving or eliciting testimony concerning information allegedly known to persons whom he has not disclosed under Rules 26(a) and (e); (4) both parties are precluded from any testimony, argument, commentary or reference concerning DNA evidence; (5) defendant is precluded from cross-examination or eliciting evidence regarding Stephanie Grisham's prior misdemeanor convictions, her unrelated pending lawsuit, and her use of a prescription medication; (6) defendant is precluded from commenting upon or eliciting any evidence regarding plaintiff's choice of counsel or her counsel's activities outside the litigation between plaintiff and defendant; (7) Mr. Fisher is precluded from testifying at trial as a rebuttal expert witness; and (8) defendant is precluded from calling Ms. Hobday to testify at trial. Plaintiff's motion in limine (Dkt 72) is denied to the extent that defendant is not precluded from calling Mss. Dyssegaard, Abraham, Lazin, and Mr. Haskell at trial. SO ORDERED.

March 23, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 94 MEMORANDUM OPINION RE ANONYMOUS JURY. For the foregoing reasons, (I) the names, addresses, and places of employment of prospective jurors on the voir dire panel, as well as jurors who ultimately are selected for the petit jury, shall not be revealed, (2) petit jurors shall be kept together during recesses and the United States Marshal Service ("USMS") shall take the petit jurors to, or provide them with, lunch as a group throughout the pendency of the trial, and (3) at the beginning and end of each trial day, the petit jurors shall be transported together or in groups from one or more undisclosed location or locations at which the jurors can assemble or from which they may return to their respective residences.

March 20, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 92 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON DEFENDANT'S IN LIMINE MOTION denying #69 Motion in Limine. Mr. Trump's in limine motion (Dkt 69) is denied in all respects. This ruling is without prejudice to Mr. Trump renewing his objection to the campaign speech excerpts in the event they are offered at trial.

March 20, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 91 ORDER denying (147 in 20cv7311) Letter Motion to Consolidate Cases. The letter motion to consolidate these cases for trial, filed in the first captioned case as Dkt 14 7, is denied. The parties overestimate both the judicial economy benefits that would be achieved and the risk of inconsistent rulings that would be eliminated by consolidation. Issue preclusion appears to the Court adequate to achieve appropriate conservation of judicial resources and avoidance of inconsistent rulings even if the two cases were tried separately. Moreover, a trial in 20-cv-7311 conceivably could prove unnecessary.

February 16, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 59 ORDER granting in part and denying in part #57 Letter Motion for Discovery. Plaintiff's application is disposed of as follows: 1. Defendant has represented that "the scope of Plaintiff's IME will be... confined to the issues of whether Plaintiff was emotionally harmed by the alleged sexual assault, and if so, to what degree and whether she is pretending or exaggerating her injuries. The scope of the IME will not include an analysis as to whether the alleged sexual assault occurred in the first place." Dkt 58, at 3. Accordingly, plaintiff's first request for relief is denied as moot. 2. Plaintiff's second and third requests for relief are unjustified and hence denied. The Court assumes that defendant's expert will administer only psychological tests that are appropriate to the purpose of the examination. 3.The fourth and fifth requests for relief are granted. 4.The IME shall take place on Februaiy 21 and 22 at the offices of plaintiff's counsel. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 2/16/23) (yv)

February 15, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 56 ORDER denying #51 Letter Motion for Discovery. Mr. Trump has offered no persuasive reason to relieve [him] of the consequences of [his] own failure to seek [the appendix] in a timely fashion. He has failed to demonstrate good cause to reopen discovery for the purpose of obtaining these pages of the DNA report. Nor is there any legitimate basis for this Court to accept Mr. Trumps offer to provide his DNA sample made contingent on the Court granting his application, which it does not. Accordingly, Mr. Trumps letter application (Dkt 51) is denied. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 2/15/2023) (Mohan, Andrew)
