HOWEVER. A document filed in the Snow White case on the date (January 11, 1979) listed on this page was posted by Jeff Jacobsen on 20 Sep 2001. This is probably the document in question.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Filed JAN 11 1979 JAMES F. DAVEY, Clerk
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA V MARY SUE HUBBARD, ET AL.
RESPONSE TO INFORMAL BILL OF PARTICULARS
The United States of America respectfully submits the instant Response to Informal Bill of Particulars submitted by the defendants on October 30, 1978 (Exhibit A) and on January 9, 1978 (Exhibit B).
The so-called "informal request for bill of particulars" submitted by the defendants appear to confuse the nature, extent and purpose of a bill of particulars which may be required pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P.
7(f) and the discovery requests allowable ---- 1/ under Fed.R.Crim.P. 16.- It is difficult to be certain of the defendants' intentions in seeking a bill of particulars since the theoretical underpinnings are not explained by reference to legal authority of any sort. However, an analysis of their request indicates that they are primarily seeking discovery and not a refinement of the charges against them. Indeed, the defendants recognize this at page sixty-six (66) of their "informal" bill of particulars request of October 30 when they acknowledge that "at first blush ,[it] appear[s] somewhat detailed." /2 We submit that even after thorough review their request is patently unreasonable, absurd, and totally lacking in merit. The absurdity of the defendants' request is highlighted by request 8(d) which asks that the government name:
___________________________________
1/ Especially in view of the facts that the defendants, through extensive correspondence, have received complete discovery from the United States. Indeed, many of their renewed requests are identical to those contained in the first request and completely responded to by the United States letter of October 15, 1978 to Philip Hirschkop,
2/ Contrary to the defendants' assertion at page 66 of their letter the indictment in this case is not "the longest returned in recent history by any Grand Jury sittingin the District of Columbia" either in terms of length or number of counts.
Page 2
the identities and addresses of the "other unindicted co-conspirators . . . unknown to the grand jury." (Emphasis added.)
How the government can name people whose name it and the grand jury did not know is beyond human conprehenson. See similarly request number 85(d) at page thirty-nine.
The principles underlying a bill of particulars are well settled. "It is not the function of a bill of particulars to provide detailed disclosure of the government's evidence in advance of trial" Overton v. United States, 403 F.2d 444,446 (5th Cir. 1968); see also United States v. Frumento, 405 F.Supp. 23 (D.Pa. 1975). "Acquisition of evidentiary detail is not the function of the bill of particulars."
Hemphill v. United States, 392 F.2d 45,49 (8th Cir.), cert. denied, 393 U.S. 877 (1968). Thus, the government has no duty to divulge the precise manner in which the crimes alleged in the indictment were committed, United States v. Leonelli, 428 F.Supp. 880 (S.D.N.Y. 1977);
the theory of its case, United States v. Pappia, 399 F.Supp. 1381 (D.Wis.
1975); or the "when, where and how" of matters not charged in the indictment, United States v. Armocida, 515 F.2d 49 (3d Cir.) cert.
denied, 423 U.S. 858 (1975). Similarly, the defendants are not entitled to a bill of particulars as to the meaning of terms, legal or otherwise. United States v. Luros, 243 F.Supp. 160 (N.D.Iowa), cert.
denied, 382 U.S. 956 (1965). A considerable percentage of the defendants' submission is devoted to a request for definition of words the meaning of which can be ascertained by reference to a simple dictionary. The defendants are also not entitled to receive, by way of a bill of particulars, information as to whether they had knowledge of co-conspirators' acts committed in furtherance of the conspiracy.
United States v. Kahaner, 203 F.Supp. 78 (S.D.N.Y. 1962). /
Page 3
In the instant case, the sheer number of pages and the "total items [161] requested by all defendants go far beyond that to which they are entitled. To require the government to furnish the minutiae sought would be tantamount to a preview of its case in advance of trial and compel disclosure of its evidence, including the names of witnesses."
Id. at 84. Indeed, the defendants in this case are asking the United States to submit to them a complete script of the trial.
"The purpose of a bill of particulars is to inform the defendant of the nature of the charges against him to adequately prepare his defense, to avoid surprise during the trial and to protect him against a second prosecution for an inadequately described offense . . . when the indictment itself is too vague and indefinite for such purpose."
United States v. Addonizio, 451 F.2d 49, 63-64 (3d Cir.), cert.
denied, 405 U.S. 936 (1972). In the instant case, the indictment is extremely detailed and by no stretch of the imagination could it be described as "vague and indefinite" for the purpose of informing the defendants of the nature of the charges against them. Indeed, one is puzzled at the defendants' claim of vagueness where in the same request and repeatedly in court they have attacked the government for returning such a detailed indictment.
The indictment in this case represents the culmination of an extensive investigation by the Grand Jury which uncovered the crimes alleged therein. The indictment is based upon documents seized from the organization of which the defendants were high officials and which were written by the defendants themselves.
The defendants have been informed which of these documents the United States intended to use in its case-in-chief and have been invited to review and take notes from, the other seized documents which the government does not anticipate using at the trial.
Page 4
Although that invitaion was extended October 15, 1978, only one attorney -- Leonard Koenick, Esquire -- took advantage of that offer on January 5, 1979, and for approximately one and one-half hours, during which time he personally did not review a single document.
Instead, he sat by while an official of the Church of Scientology who is listed herein as an unindicted co-conspirator reviewed a very small percentage of the documents.
Suffice it to say, that the charges in the indictment are introduced by ten self-explanatory introductory paragraphs including a reasonably thorough description of the defendants, the positions they held, and the dates during which they held these positions. This is followed by the first conspiracy count which specifies the dates when it began and concluded, the statutes which it violated; the particulars, purpose, object, and means of the conspiracy; and is followed by specific, detailed overt acts which state the date of each act, the defendants who were involved, and the act which they committed. In the few instances where unindicted co-conspirators are indicated as being involved but not named, their names are given herein. The second conspiracy and the remaining charges follow the same detailed pattern. As it stands, it is hard to imagine a more particularized indictment than the one returned in the instant case. The reasons the indictment was drafted so specifically was to avoid having to respond to an unreasonable motion for a bill of particulars such as the one filed by the defendants herein. The very length of the requested bill of particulars, and the sweeping nature of some of these requests (see e.g., passim, 20(e), 42(d), 44(d), 62(d), 64(h), 77(m) (iii), 77(n), 78(d), 86(g), 87(d), 142(c)) are indicative of its unreasonable nature and indicate that it is clearly contrary to the underlying functions of a bill of particulars.
E.g., United States v. Bearden, 423 F.2d 805,809 (9th Cir. 1970);
Overton v. United States, supra; Hemphill v. United States, supra.
Page 5
The Court of Appeals for this Circuit recently declared in United States v. Pollack, 534 F.2d 964, 970(1976):
"In these circumstances, appellants' demands for further particularization of overt acts, the circumstances surrounding the alleged acts, and attribution of the alleged misrepresentations may be construed as attempts to procure evidentiary material rejected within the discretion of the district judge." United States v. Pollack;
supra. 534 F.2d at 970.
As is well recognized, a bill of particulars is not something a defendant is entitled to as a matter of right. The granting of a bill of particulars rests in the sound discretion of the trial court. Wong Tai v. United States, 273 U.S. 77, 82 (1927). Here, the defendant's demands for particulars are so broad that to grant the bill of particulars would provide the defense with every evidentiary detail of the government's case -- a result which is totally contrary to the purpose of the bill of particulars. The Supreme Court has specifically held that a motion for a bill of particulars seeking the details of all overt acts alleged in a conspiracy count -- "which in effect sought a complete discovery of the Government's case in reference to the overt acts" --is properly denied. Wong Tai v. United States, supra at 82.
Such demands are customarily denied. E.g., United States v. Ford Motor Co., 24 F.R.D. 65, 70 (D.C.C. 1959) (Tamm, J.); Hickman v.
United States, 406 F.2d 414, 415 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 394 U.S.
960 (1969); Cook v. United States, 354 F.2d 529, 531 (9th Cir. 1965).
However, despite the fact that there is no justification for a bill of particulars in this csae, the government is to the extent possible detailing below for the defense many of the particulars requested. We should point out that there are a number of times, dates and places which we do not know in detail and therefore cannot so specify.
However, those that we know, we will specify.
Page 6
Finally, we wish to point out that the procedure we are following here was not only accepted by Judge Gasch and the Court of Appeals in the Pollack case, discussed above, but has been fairly routinely followed by federal judges in the Southern District of New York. For example, in United States v. Leighton, 265 F.Supp. 27, 35 (S.D.N.Y.
1967), after the government consented to supply the defense with the time and place where the alleged offense took place, the trial judge ruled as follows:
"Where the indictment as written contains all the particulars necessary to enable the defendant to understand the charges against him and to protect himself from double jeopardy, the Court will not order the Government to set forth any further particulars. The indictment in the instant case most particularly sets forth the nature of the charges by specifying the approximate date of the offense, the amount of the bribe, the duty performed by the revenue agent and the name and year of the income tax return involved. Any particulars sought herein by the defendants which have not been consented to by the Government either seek a preview of the evidence or go to matters not within the indictment. As indicated supra, these matters are not properly within the scope of a demand for a bill of particulars and, accordingly, both defendants' motions are granted only insofar as has been consented to by the Government."
The United States accordingly hereby responds to the defendants' informal request for bill of particulars submitted by letter dated October 30, 1978. (Reference is made to the numbers of the paragraphs of defendants' letter):
l-7, 8(e) (f), 13(d), 14(d), 35(c), 41(b), 43(c), 45(c), 54(a), 56(c), 58(c), 59(c), 61(c), 63(c), 64(f), 66(i), 68(l), 71(h), 72(h), 74(c), 77(b)(c), 110(b), 113(b), 115(e), 119(c), 127(b), 130(c), 132(e), 135(b), 141(b) - Denied. Definition of terms, legal or otherwise, is not the subject of a bill of particulars. The words used are self-explanatory and should be read in the context of the charges detailed in the indictment and the documents and other evidence made available to the defense. See supra for law.
Page 7
8(b) - The term "elsewhere" as used throughout the indictment refers to places other than the District of Columbia, including Los Angeles, ,California, and East Grinstead, Sussex, England, as well as locations unknown to the United States. See documents and evidence made available for details.
8(c) - The "other unindicted co-conspirators . . . known . . . to the Grand Jury" include inter alia: Brian Andrus, Mary Rezonico, Kendrick Moxon, Arthur Maren, Jimmy Mulligan, Joe Lisa, Don Alverzo, Bruce Ullman, Carla Moxon, Martin Greenberg, Mary Heldt, Peggy Tyson, Herbert Parkhouse, David Gaiman, Paul Klopper, Lynn McNeil, Bruce Raymond, George Pilat, Michael Taylor, Michael Baum, Herman Brendel, Charles Parselle.
8 (g) - Denied, see law, supra.
8 (h) - Neither the government nor the Grand Jury is required to state whether it considered indicting other individuals and why they decided not to do so. Indeed, such a request could violate Grand Jury secrecy.
8 (i) - Denied.
8(j) - Denied, see United States v. Figueroa, 204 F.Supp. 641 (S.D.N.Y. 1962), aff'd., 323 F.2d 729 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 376 U.S. 955(1964) and other cases listed supra.
8 (k) - (0) - Denied, see law supra. As to 8(o) the defendants have already been informed through discovery that no "informers" were used in the instant case.
9-17 - Denied. All of these questions are fully responded to by the well-detailed overt acts as well as all the documents and evidence already made available to the defense. See also case law supra.
18-76 - The defendants are requesting mere evidence, testimony, names of witnesses, characterization of testimony, and a script of the government's case. With the exception of the following
Page 8
items, all other requests are denied. 3/ (E.g., answers to item 23, 26, item may be obtained from a review of the evidence made available to the defense.): 4/

71(k),72(k) - Oral.
73(a) - Illegally, through the use of false IRS identification during evening hours.
__________________________ 3/ Each overt act outlines the time, place (to the extent known), and names of participating defendants. The evidence made available to the defense sufficiently supplements that information.
2/ Throughout many of the requests, the defendants seek to circumvent having to view the evidence themselves by requiring the United States to dictate to them the content of documents. See e.g., 23(b),(c), 26(d), 29(d), 38(d),40(b), 44(d), 46(b), 50(f), 51(c), 55(d), 57(d), 60(d), 62(d), 66(e), 68(e), 71(d), 72(d), 75(a), 75(c), 76(a)-(d), 106(c), 115(d), 117(b), 123(b)-(d), 124(b), 133(b), 135(c)-(e), 136(b)-(c), 138(a)-(c).

2 (c) - Stated elaborately in the indictment.
9 - Definitions of words not a subject of bills of particulars. See supra.
Page 15
As to all other requests, the information is denied for reasons stated supra inasmuch as the bills of particulars requests seek mere discovery and even at that go beyond the scope of the discovery rule.
The instant pleading also responds to the so-called "informal . .
. request for a bill of particulars" contained in the letter of Leonard J. Koenick, Esquire, of October 30, 1978, appended hereto as Exhibit C.
