Re: Federal Grand Jury Subpoena
Dear Ms. Coffman:
Thank you for your agreement to accept service of the attached subpoena by facsimile. As
I discussed with Kim Collins, the Clerk of Court is the custodian of the transcripts' of the state grand
jury proceedings. Ms. Collins asked me to inform you that the transcripts are kept in the Circuit's
Criminal Department. Florida Statute Sections 905.17(1) and 905.27 discuss the disclosure of state
grand jury transcripts. Pursuant to those statutes, a transcript can be released upon an order of "a
court." The statutes do not require that the order be issued by the Palm Beach County Court.
I have attached two cases regarding the procedures for obtaining state grand jury transcripts
for use in federal grand jury investigations. The cases that I have enclosed suggest that the
appropriate way is to issue a federal grand jury subpoena to the party currently in possession of the
tapes and/or transcripts of the proceedings. The cases that4have enclosed both involve orders issued
by a federal court that compel the production of the transcripts.
If the Clerk of Court feels that she cannot comply with the grand jury subpoena absent an
order from the United States District Court compelling the production, then you must file a motion
to quash the grand jury subpoena before the United States District Judge who empaneled the federal
grand jury. Alternatively, if you like, you can state in writing your inability to produce the transcript
absent a court order, and I can proceed before the United States District Judge by filing a motion to
'I do not know whether the grand jury proceedings have yet been transcribed. The enclosed
subpoena calls for the tapes or the transcripts. If you would prefer to produce the tapes to be
transcribed by one of our grand jury stenographers, that would satisfy the subpoena. If the Clerk of
Court would prefer to have one of the state court stenographers do the transcription. production of
the transcripts also would suffice.

Middle District of Florida, Nos. MISC-1-86-183-14,
MISC-J-86-183- 4, Susan H. Black, J., which
denied motions to suppress subpoenas. The Court

create evidentiary privilege.

influence peddling by certain public officials of the
City of Jacksonville. Witnesses appearing before
the state grand jury included the four appellants in
this case: lake Godbold, then the mayor of
Jacksonville. Don McClure, Godbold's chief
administrative aide. Dawson McQuaig, a former
general counsel for the city, and Thomas Greene, a
practicing attorney and an associate of Godbold's.
Each of these witnesses appeared and testified
voluntarily.
No criminal charges resulted from the state grand
jury investigation. In August 1985, however, the
state grand jury issued a report that identified
several instances in '556 which "political favors and
game-playing for friends" had infected the City's
process of awarding contracts for professional
services. Godbold, McClure, McQuaig, and
Greene each waived his right under F1a.Stat. §
905.28(1) (1985) to suppress the report. The
report, however, did not contain the substance of
their testimony.
Meanwhile, federal prosecutors had initiated a
federal grand jury investigation into substantially
the same matters investigated by the state grand
jury. Godbold. McQuaig, McClure, and Greene
each indicated that he would assert the fifth
amendment if subpoenaed to testify before the
federal grand jury. Relying on the disclosure
provisions of Fla.Stat. § 905.27(I)(t) (1985). [FNI)
the United States in August 1985 petitioned a state
judge to order the State Attornenanun nver.to_die
federal grand jury the appellants' state grand jury
testimony. The United States made to factual
suisT4ssion in support of its petition. _The_uate
judgtxefused LoSslaracterizing the
effort to obtain the testimony as a "fishing
expedition."
FN1. Under this provision, a court may order
disclosure of grand jury testimony for die purpose
of "fflurthering justice."
in October 1986, the federal grand_nny" issued
subpoena duces tecum ordering the State Attorney
to produce appellants' state grand jury testimony.
The State Attorney moved the federal district court
to _quash the subpoima, arguing that disclosure of
grand—Wry transcripts was unlawful under Florida IS
law, that the United States had not demonstrated
sufficient need for the transcripts, and that comity
required the district court to honor the state court's Page 2
ruling against disclosure. Greene and McQuaig
then moved the court to permit them to intervene
pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 24 and to file similar
motions to quash. In his motion to intervene.
McQuaig asserted that prior to testifying before the
state grand jury, he had received assurances from
the State Attorney that Florida law prohibited any
disclosure of his grand jury testimony. Greene did
not allege in his motion that he bad received funilar
assurances, but stated that he was entitled to
intervene because -state grand jury proceedings
[axe] secret and confidential by virtue of the
provisions of Chapter 905 of the Florida Statutes.*
The district court granted the motions to intervene,
and subsequently permitted Godbold and McClure
to intervene as well. IFN2)
FN2. Godbold and McClure also based their
motions to intervene on the Florida grand jury
secrecy requirement. The substance of the
privilege that appellants assert is discussed in part
nr,
In November 1986, the district court entered an
order inviting the United States to make an ex pane
factual submission showing why it needed the state
grand jury transcripts. The government declined to
accept the invitation and made no submission. The
court then entered an order granting the motions to 4,29,
quash. Applying the balancing test set forth in
Douglas Oil Co. v. Petrol Sr .t Northwest, 441
U.S. 211, 99 S.Ct. 1667. 60 M.2c1 156 (1979),
the court found that the government had failed to
establish a sufficient need for the testimony.
Twenty-eight days after the court granted the
motions to quash, the United States filed ''M
for Reconsideration of Opinion and Order" along
with an ex parte affidavit identifying facts
supporting the grand jury's need for the testimony.
The district court questioned the procedural
correctness of the government's motion for
reconsideration, and stated that under ordinary
circumstances it would not consider the motion. In
the court's view, however, denial of the motion
would not prevent the United States from obtaining
the testimony: the United States could simply
reissue the subpoena and defeat any motion to quash
on the strength of the information contained in the
ex pane affidavit. The court concluded that the
most efficient solution was to consider the newly
submitted information in the rontext of the
government's motion for reconsideration. Atter

832 F.2d 554
(Cite as: 832 F.2d 554, 4556)
considering the new information in camera, the
district court entered an amended order in which it
reversed its original order denying the motion to
quash. The district court certified its amended
order for interlocutory *557 appeal pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1292(b) (1982 & Supp. 11 1984), and this
court granted permission to appeal. The four
intervenors appealed, although the State Attorney
did not.
Appellants make two arguments before this court.
First, they argue that the government's motion for
reconsideration was untimely and that the district
court therefore had no authority to hear it.
According to appellants, the applicable time limit
for the motion was the ten-day limit of
Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e), not, as the government
contends, the thirty-day limit of 18 U.S.C. § 3731
(1982 & Supp. 11 1984). Second, appellants argue
that the district courts amended order was in error
for the following reasons: (1) the government had
failed to demonstrate a sufficient need for
appellants' grand jury testimony, and (2) comity
required the court to give greater deference to the
state judge's decision against releasing the
testimony. Because of the nature of our ruling
today, we do not reach the merits of these
arguments.
11.
We first address the threshold issue whether we
have jurisdiction to hear this appeal. Although this
court granted the intervenors permission to appeal
pursuant to section 1292(b), we must of course
dismiss the appeal if we are without jurisdiction.
See Robinson v. Tanner. 798 F.2d 1378, 1379 (11th
Cir.1986) cen. denied. 481 U.S. 1039, 107 S.°.
1979. 95 S.2d 819 (1987).
Under section 1292(b), a district court may certify
for appeal a non-final order entered in a civil action
if the court is of the opinion that the order 'involves
a controlling question of law as to which there is
substantial ground for difference of opinion' and
that resolution of the question 'may materially
advance the ultimate termination of the litigation.'
By its terms, section 1292(b) applies only to orders
in civil actions, and has no application to appeals in
crimir.al cases. See United States v. Doucet. 461
F.2d 1095 (5th Cir.1972): United Stares v. Lowe.
433 F.2d 349 (5th Cir.1970). Therefore, we have
no jurisdiction to hear this appeal pursuant to
section 1292(b) unless the district courts order Page 3
denying the motion to quash can be considered an
order entered in a 'civil action.'
(1] We hold that a grand jury proceeding is not a
'civil action' for purposes of section 1292(b). lust
in terms of the plain meaning of words, it seems
self-evident that an order denying a motion to quash
a subpoena issued by a grand jury investigating
possible criminal violations is not part of a 'civil
action.' We base our conclusion on more than a
mechanical labeling of the proceedings below,
however. By expressly limiting section 1292(b)'s
application to 'controlling question[s] of law" in
"civil' cases, Congress clearly indicated its intent
not to disturb well-established precedent forbidding
piecemeal review of grand jury proceedings. In
Cobbkdick v. United States, 309 U.S. 323, 60
S.Ct. 540, 84 M. 783 (1940), decided eighteen
years before Congress enacted section 1292(b), the
Supreme Court held that a district court's denial of
a motion to quash a grand jury subpoena was not an
appealable final decision within the meaning of the
predecessor section of 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1982).
Noting that the Constitution itself makes the grand
jury part of the criminal process, the Court
concluded that "(th is no less important to safeguard
against undue interruption the inquiry instituted by a
grand jury than to protect from delay the progress
of the trial after an indictment has been found." Id.
at 327, 60 S.Ct. at 542; see also Di Bella v. United
States. 369 U.S. 121, 124, 82 S.Ct. 654, 656-57, 7
M.2d 614 (1962) ('This insistence on finality and
prohibition of piecemeal review discourage undue
litigiousness and leaden-footed administration of
justice, particularly damaging to the conduct of
criminal cases.`).
Although Cobbledick was based on the principle of
finality found in section 1291, that same principle
fords expression in section 1292(b). We are unable
to conclude that Congress, by authorizing
permissive interlocutory appeals of 'controlling
question(sJ of law' in 'civil" actions, intended to
undermine the strong policy against permitting
appellate interruption of grand jury *558
proceedings. Accord In re April 1977 Grand Jury
Subpoenas. 584 F.2d 1366, 1369 (6th Cir.1978)

controlling question of law' to civil cases only and,
therefore, should not be read to allow interlocutory
review or grand jury proceedings.'), cert. denied,

[21 We next examine whether there is a separate
basis for appellate jurisdiction in this case. As we
have already indicated, orders denying motions to
quash grand jury subpoenas are ordinarily not
appealable foul orders under section 1291. The
subpoenaed party can obtain review by refusing to
comply with the subpoena and then contesting a
contempt citation, which is immediately appealable.
See United States v. 402 U.S. 530, 532-33,
91 S.Q. 1580, 1582, 29 M.2c1 85 (1971). The
contempt route for obtaining review. however, is
not open to a third party who claims a privilege of
nondisclosure with respect to materials in the
custody of the subpoenaed parry. In such a case,
the putative privilege-bolder has no power to
compel the subpoenaed party to incur a contempt
citation. And the subpoenaed party, unless be has
either a particularly close relationship to the putative
privilege-holder or a personal interest in
nondisclosure of the material is unlikely to risk a
contempt citation simply to vindicate the rights of
the third parry. In this situation, the order denying
the motion to quash is indeed final with respect to
the putative privilege-holder, for any prejudice he
suffers as a result of disclosure will remain forever
unredressed unless appeal is permitted.
Accordingly, this circuit follows the so-called
Perlman exception to the general rule prohibiting
interlocutory appeal of orders denying motions to
quash grand jury subpoenas. See In re Grand Jury
Proceedings (Twist), 689 F.2d 1351 (I Ith Cir.1982)
In re Grand Jury Proceedings (Fine), 641 F.2d
199 (5th Cir. Unit A Mar. 1981); cf. In re
International Horizons, Inc., 689 F.2d 996 (11th
Cir.1982) (discovery order in bankruptcy
proceedings). This exception, derived from
Perlman v. United States. 247 U.S. 7, 38 S.Q.
417, 62 M.
950 (1918). and confirmed in United
States v. Nunn 418 U.S. 683, 691, 94 S.Ct. 3090,
3099, 41 M.2d 1039 (1974), permits an order
denying a motion to quash to be 'considered final as
to the injured third party who is otherwise
powerless to prevent the revelation.' Fine, 641
F.2d at 202.
[3) The circumstances supporting application of the
Perlman exception are present in this case.
Relying on the Florida grand jury secrecy
requirement, appellants in essence assert a privilege
of nondisclosure. The material with respect to
which they assert the privilege—transcripts of their
state grand jury testimony —is in the custody of the Page 4
State Attorney. The State Attorney has indicated
his intention to produce the transcripts. In light of
these circumstances, the order denying the motion
to quash is a final order as far as appellants are
concerned. We therefore have jurisdiction to bear
their appeal. [F7l3)
F113. We note that the wily material sought from
the subpoenaed party in this use is material that
falls squarely within the privilege asserted by the
third parties. This is not a case. thelk, where *
party has been subpoenas to testify or product
records and a third party mady fears that
privileged material may be disclosed along with
other, conprivilcectl material. In the law
situation. the use is nor ripe for appellate review
until the subpoenaed parry has actually been asked
to reveal specific material coveted by the asserted
privilege. See In it Grand Jury Proceedings (Doe
). 831 F.24 222 (11th Cir.1987).
111.
In deciding that the narrow Perlman exception
applies in this case, we have also necessarily
defined the scope of the matters properly before us
for review. Appellants raise several objections to
disclosure, including procedural objections and
objections based on comity considerations and the
need to protect the intSbheaa
jury system. wever, the only matter that the
Perinuut exception gives us jurisdiction to review is
the appellants' claim_ of to prevent
disclosure of their state grand jury testimony.
*559 The rationale of the Perlman exception
extends only to appeals based on privileges personal
to the third party seeking review: if the subpoenaed
party has a direct or primary interest. in the right or
privilege in question, the concerns giving rise to the
Perlman excepticui simply are not present. Here,
to the extent that their objections to disclosure are
based .on concerns relating to comity and the
integrity of the Florida grand jury, appellants
cannot argue that the subpoenaed parry bad no
interest in seeking to vindicate their derivative
right. lam_ the subpoenaed party--the State]
Floridanou4 by the Stare tetwney- had
ants prima lateness the Protection of its trend
jurialtent Accordingly, the Perlman exception
does pot give us jurisdiction to review the
appellants' arguments concerning comity and the
need to preserve the integrity of the Florida grand
jury. [FN4) Nor does it give us jurisdiction to
review their procedural arguments. Thus, we do
not pass upon the district court's disposition of

832 F.2d 554
(Cite as: 832 F.2d 554, '559)
those matters and we turn to appellants' claims of
privilege.
FN4. We should emphasize that this discussion
relates only to appellants' right to appeal under the
PCIIMCLIt exception. It does not relate to their
standing to raise these claims before the district
°NAO.
The appellants' motions to intervene in the district
court proceedings reveal the nature of the privilege
they assert. Appellant McQuaig's motion stated
that "[p]rior to appearing before the [state] Grand
July, Mr. McQuaig was advised by the State
Attorney that pursuant to Section 905.27, F1a.Stat.
(1985): a) none of the testimony be provided to the
Grand Jury was disclosable under the law; and b)
any disclosure of said testimony was a crime:
Appellant Green's motion stated that "[the) state
grand jury proceedings were secret and confidential
by virtue of the provisions of Chapter 905 of the
Florida Statutes." Appellant Godbold's motion
stated that "testimony was provided with the
understanding on the part of lake Godbold that
pursuant to § 905.27 of the Florida Seamus. his
testimony would not and could not be disclosed
under the law." Finally, appellant McClure's
motion stated that "[Om substantial interest of Don
McClure is equal to or greater than that of the two
other parties previously allowed to intervene."
In essence, then, appellants derive the privilege
they assert from the Florida statutory grand jury
secrecy requirement. The statute imposing that
requirement provides as follows:
(I) A grand juror, state attorney, assistant state
attorney, reporter. stenographer. interpreter, or
any other person appearing before the grand jury
shall not disclose the testimony of a witness
examined before the grand jury or other evidence
received by it except when required by a court to
disclose the testimony for the purpose of:
(a) Ascertaining whether it is consistent with she
testimony given by the witness before the court:
(b) Determining whether the witness is guilty of
perjury; or
(c) Furthering justice.
