Lee, Dexter (USAFLS) From: Mason, Peter (USAEO) Sent Friday, December 17, 2010 12:45 PM To: Lee, Dexter (USAFLS) Subject: RE: Request for Advice and Guidance on Potential Office-Wide Recusal - Crime Victims Rights Litigation Dexter: As your office is, from my understanding, will be looking to have this CVRA suit dismissed, consistent with DoJ's position in other similar cases, under 12(b)(6) or equivalent because the plaintiffs did not have rights under the CVRA as no formal charge was filed, there is not, at present, a need for your office to be recused. If/when this changes and more substantive work may be involved (e.g. if a judge does not dismiss under this procedural bar), we can revisit. Have a good holiday. - Peter From: Lee, Dexter (USAFLS) Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2010 4:28 PM To: Mason, Peter (USAEO) Subject: Re: Request for Advice and Guidance on Potential Office-Wide Recusal - Crime Victims Rights Litigation Peter, That is correct.
