District Court, S.D. New York March 26, 2012, No. 11 Cr. 907(JSR); No. 11 Civ. 7566(JSR) (United States v. Gupta)

OPINION AND ORDER

JED S. RAKOFF, District Judge.

That separate government agencies having overlapping jurisdiction will cooperate in the factual investigation of the same alleged misconduct makes perfect sense; but that they can then disclaim such cooperation to avoid their respective discovery obligations makes no sense at all.
