Targ, Esq. Diaz Reus Rolff & Targ LLP 100 S.E. Second Street, Suite 2600 Miami, FL 33131 Re: Subpoena to Paul Lavery Dear Mr. Targ: Thank you for your letter of June 4, 2007. Following receipt of your letter, I conducted some additional research regarding your blanket assertion of the attorney-client and work product privileges prior to the appearance before the grand jury. My research shows that the person asserting the privilege bears the burden of establishing its applicability. See, e.g., United States v. Schaltenbrand , 930 F.2d 1554 (11th Cir. 1991); United States v. MuRoz , 233 F.3d 1117 (9th Cir. 2000); Hawkins v. Stables , 148 F.3d 379 (4th Cir. 1998); Motley v. Marathon Oil Co. , 71 F.3d 1547 (10th Cir. 1995); Christman v. Brauvin Realty Advisors, Inc. , 185 F.R.D. 251
