This document is a legal brief filed by intervenors/appellants Roy Black, Martin G. Weinberg, and Jeffrey Epstein in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The brief appeals a district court order that allowed the disclosure of settlement/plea negotiation communications to third parties. The appellants argue that these communications are protected by Rule 410, the work-product privilege, and the Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel. They seek to prevent the disclosure of these communications to plaintiffs in a civil case against the United States under the Crime Victims Rights Act, 18 U.S.C. §3771. The brief also discusses the applicability of the Perlman doctrine for immediate appeal and argues for the recognition of a common law privilege for plea/settlement negotiation communications.
