e-mail has a problem that it's an hour off when you reply to
it. So I think that it -- It's reflecting a time of 3:34. I
know that Misti was trying to get ahold of her, and somebody
else was trying to get ahold of her, but I can't remember now
who it was. I learned from two independent people that she

Q. What was the policy at the time -- the office policy
in May of 2010 about attorneys -- line attorneys and where
they were supposed to be and when?
A. Well, the policy is lengthy, and it incorporates
several of Department of Justice policies. But the base of
it is we need to know where you are, and if you're not in the
office, you need to be approved to be out of the office with
a leave slip or note to your supervisor. You need to apprise
your staff who you work with where you are.
Q. What was the expectation for the attorneys at that
time about what hours they were supposed to be keeping?
A. Everyone had been informed by Stephanie Rose as of
February 3 that she expected everybody to hold court hours
between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., with an hour lunch break, or
8:30 to 5:00, with a half-hour break.

parents, or parents with sick children, as an example?
A. Yes. Stephanie sent an e-mail out. We have a thing
called AWS for non-attorney staff that is a district by
