record, please?

A.

Jeffrey M. Sewell.

Q.

And at some point in time you worked

for Jefferson County; is that correct?

A.

Yes.

Q.

When did you start working for

9

Jefferson County?
A.
believe.

The first time was in about 1982, I


I was in law school and I was a law

10

clerk in the office for a year.

Then went on

11

after law school into the Army in the JAG Corps,

12

and spent four years in the Army and then came

13

back, began working the second time, I believe,

14

on August 28, 1988.

15

Q.

In what capacity?

16

A.

As assistant county attorney.

17

Q.

Who was the county attorney at the

18

time when you came on in 1988?

19

A.

Andy Strickland.

20

Q.

And you reported to Mr. Strickland?

21

A.

Yes.

22

Q.

Did your position change at any time

23

during the course of your employment with

24

Jefferson County?

25

A.

1-800-325-3376

In November of -- I believe it was

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 8
1

November of 2008, Andy retired and I was hired

or appointed, I guess, promoted, whatever the

word is, to county attorney.

Q.

So between August 28th of 1988 and

November of 2008 your position didn't change,

you were assistant county attorney?

A.

Correct.

Q.

Were there other assistant county

9
10

attorneys during that period of time?


A.

There were, there were other

11

assistants that preceded my second employment

12

and other assistant county attorneys that --

13

that were employed from 1988 up through -- up

14

through, you know, later in years.

15

Wagner is one of them who is now retired, and

16

Theo Lawson and eventually French McMillan and

17

Shawnna Smith.

18

Q.

Charles

Did the assistant county attorneys

19

have different responsibilities by subject

20

matter or type of work?

21

A.

Not in any official capacity, not in

22

any -- you know, there's no record of that, but

23

just by the way things worked out there tended

24

to be certain -- certain of us had certain areas

25

we did, you know, kind of -- I won't say

1-800-325-3376

Merrill Corporation - New York

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 9

specialized in, but that's just kind of what we

did and others did other things and we tried not

to get in each other's lanes as best we could.

Q.

During the time you were assistant

county attorney, did you have any responsibility

for the United States versus Jefferson case?

A.

This case?

Q.

This case.

A.

No.

10

Q.

During the period of time that you

11
12
13
14

were assistant county attorney, who did?


A.

Charles Wagner for -- for most of the

period of time, and then Theo Lawson.


Q.

And did either Mr. Wagner or

15

Mr. Lawson report to you while you were an

16

assistant county attorney?

17

A.

No.

18

Q.

They reported also to Mr. Strickland?

19

A.

Yes.

20

Q.

When Mr. Strickland was county

21

attorney, what authority did he have to direct

22

Mr. Wagner and Mr. Lawson as to their handling

23

of the U.S. V. Jefferson case?

24
25

A.

He was their direct supervisor and

department head.

Q.

their work --

A.

Yes.

Q.

-- in that case?

So he had the ability to supervise

Did Mr. Strickland, while he was

county attorney, have the authority to direct

Mr. Wagner and Mr. Lawson as to the steps the

county would take to comply with the consent

decree -- consent decree in this case?

10

A.

He -- subject to the client, the

11

county commission, subject to their instruction

12

and direction, he did.

13
14

Q.

Then I think you said in November of

2008 you became county attorney?

15

A.

I believe that's right.

16

Q.

Okay.

17

And that was on

Mr. Strickland's retirement?

18

A.

It was.

19

Q.

Was there a gap at all?

20

A.

I don't think there was.

There is a

21

resolution of the commission that sets the date

22

that he retired.

23

I think it was October 31st, I'm not certain,

24

but I think the next Monday was November 2nd or

25

3rd, and I think that was my first day as county

1-800-325-3376

Q.

Was there a -- do you know how you

were selected for the position?

A.

Oh, yes.

There had been -- I don't

want to get into the conversations with,

I guess, the commission, but there was a process

involved and it culminated in a vote of the

county commission and that would be recorded in

the minutes in around October or November of

10

2008.

20
21

Q.

And I

I tried to stay out of that.

Were those lawyers employees of the

county at the time?

22

A.

No.

23

Q.

Once you became county attorney, who

24

had the -- starting November 2008, who had the

25

day-to-day responsibility for handling the U.S.

V. Jefferson litigation?

A.

Charlie Wagner.

He had entered an

appearance years ago.

if Theo in 2008, he probably had, I'm not going

to swear to that, I don't remember, but Charlie

was directly responsible for this case until he

retired at the -- I believe at the end of 2010.

I believe that's right.

Q.

And I don't really recall

Was Mr. Wagner also responsible until

10

the point that he retired for supervising the

11

county's consent decree compliance issues

12

related to this case?

13
14

A.

To -- subject to the client's

instructions and -- yes.

15

Q.

The client being the county

16

commission?

17

A.

Yes.

18

Q.

Are you aware that a contempt hearing

19

against Jefferson County commenced in March

20

2009?

21
22
23

A.

I am aware of it.

I was not present

at it but I know that it happened.


Q.

And were you aware that the county,

24

for example, submitted a -- a trial exhibit list

25

in October of 2008 in connection with that

trial?
A.

Vaguely aware of it.

I don't recall

that I have seen it.


Q.

In October 2008, did you have any

responsibilities for the U.S. V. Jefferson case?

A.

No.

Q.

Are you aware that in 2009, in

advance of the trial, the county submitted a

pretrial memorandum of law in connection with

10

the contempt hearing?

11

A.

Vaguely aware of it.

12

Q.

Did you -- do you recall having any

13

involvement in directing or supervising the

14

county's 2009 trial strategy?

15

A.

I did not.

16

Q.

You had become the county attorney in

17

late 2008, I think you said.

18

issues were you focused on for the first several

19

months when you became county attorney?

20

A.

Were there -- what

The county's financial condition.

In

21

the early part of 2008, actually late 2007, the

22

financing structure of the sewer debt had begun

23

to collapse and it got worse over the course of

24

the 2008 period.

25

collapse, the occupational tax was invalidated,

And the general fund began to

Merrill Corporation - New York

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013

and my attention was on the county's financial

condition.

Q.

Are you generally familiar with the

position that the county took at the

commencement of the 2009 contempt hearing?

A.

Not -- not really, no.

Q.

Do you know whether the county in

March of 2009 admitted any violation of the

consent decree?

10

A.

I don't know.

11

Q.

Do you know somebody named Janet

12

Thornton?

13

A.

14

she is.

15

Q.

Well, tell me what you know about

17

A.

As I recall, she's a consultant of

18

the county.

Q.

For what purpose?

responsibility, involvement, in retaining her?

23

A.

I don't believe that I did.

24

Q.

Did you have any responsibility or

25

role in supervising the work she did for the

county?

A.

No.

Q.

Have you ever read her deposition

testimony or trial testimony?

A.

I don't recall.

Q.

If I tell you she produced reports

for the county relating to this case in 2008, do

you know whether you had any involvement in the

supervision of that work?

10

A.

In 2008 I would not have, no.

11

Q.

Now, you're generally aware that the

12

trial that started in 2009 was adjourned for a

13

couple of years?

14

A.

Yes.

15

Q.

And that it resumed in December of

16

2012?

17

A.

Yes.

18

Q.

As county attorney were you involved

19

in the county's trial strategy at all for the

20

2012 resumption of the trial?

21

A.

Yes.

22

Q.

Were you aware prior to the start of

23

the trial that the county had admitted in its

24

pretrial memorandum of law that it was in

25

violation of many of the decree provisions?

MR. SMITH:

Object to the form of the

question and object to the witness providing

communications between attorneys over that

litigation strategy.

MR. WILSON:

MR. SMITH:

Well, the witness is not

under my control, to my knowledge.

8
9

Is that an instruction?

MR. LOWE:

Right.

If you're raising

an attorney-client privilege objection, then I

10

would direct him not to answer anything that

11

would reveal such privilege.

12

And since we're on this topic, the

13

county has made it quite clear they're concerned

14

about Mr. Sewell revealing privilege in this

15

deposition, so I foresee additional instances of

16

this arising in at least three ways.

17

ask Mr. Sewell a question, he objects based on

18

privilege.

19

assert and not Mr. Sewell's, I'm going to direct

20

Mr. Sewell not to answer, like in this instance.

21

One is you

Since it's the county's privilege to

The second scenario I would see would

22

be you ask Mr. Sewell a question, Mr. Smith does

23

not object; however, Mr. Sewell believes that

24

his answer may reveal something privileged, he

25

will say let me confer with my attorney.

1-800-325-3376

I will

it's privileged, then I will direct him not to

answer.

If he believes

In the third scenario, you ask

Mr. Sewell a question, he doesn't object,

Mr. Smith doesn't object, Mr. Sewell answers

believing that his answer does not contain a

privilege, and indeed the county may think it

does, then I believe it's incumbent upon the

10

county to assert it at that point and we'll take

11

it up then.

12
13

Is everybody okay with proceeding


that way?

14
15

MR. ADELSTEIN:
it's Clay Lowell speaking?

16

MR. LOWE:

17

MR. ADELSTEIN:

18

MR. LOWE:

19

Am I correct that

Lowe, yeah, L-O-W-E.


Thank you.

I'm sorry, I forgot all

about you being on the telephone.

20

MR. WILSON:

That -- that is a -- I

21

guess the only thing I would ask is that if

22

Mr. Smith is making an objection that concerns

23

an assertion of privilege, that he put the word

24

privilege somewhere into whatever he puts on the

25

record.

1-800-325-3376

Merrill Corporation - New York

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 18

MR. LOWE:

I agree with that.

MR. WILSON:

Because the last one, I

couldn't tell if it was purely a form objection

or if there was some concern that there was a

privileged communication problem.

6
7

MR. SMITH:
note that.

8
9

In the deposition -- I'll

In the deposition, typically in a


deposition we stipulate at the outset that

10

objections other than as to form are reserved,

11

and of course privilege is an issue where the

12

county attorney is being deposed.

13

reserving other objections?

14

MR. WILSON:

Are we

I think the Federal

15

Rules reserve objections as to hearsay and so

16

on, but privilege I've never understood to be

17

that sort of a thing.

18

assert it if you intend to --

19

MR. LOWE:

I think you need to

And I understood at the

20

beginning we said there were no stipulations in

21

addition to what -- the rules that apply.

22
23

MR. SMITH:

So you said what about stipulations?

24
25

See, I didn't hear that.

MR. WILSON:

That there were no

stipulations, but I believe the Federal Rules

1-800-325-3376

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 19

explicitly preserve objections other than as to

form.

MR. LOWE:

But back to your question,

it would probably help to reread the question,

let him make his objection more succinctly and

move on from there.

How about that?

MR. WILSON:

That's fine.

If I --

sure, and just as long as I understand that you

have a privilege issue in the objection, that's

10

all I need.

11
12

MR. SMITH:

Sure, and I'll do my best

to articulate something about it.

13

MR. WILSON:

14

MR. SMITH:

Thank you.
And so to clarify, my

15

last objection was an objection to privilege

16

concerns.

17

be, but it was a question about information he

18

had, and not knowing the foundation of that at

19

all my concern is that I have to assert

20

privilege to the question as phrased.

21

I don't know what the answer would

MR. WILSON:

22

different question.

23

MR. LOWE:

24

Okay.

Let me try a

MR. LOWE:

MR. WILSON:

Okay.
Well, there's been an

objection and an instruction, so we'll just

leave it at that and I'll move on.

MR. LOWE:

Q.

Okay.

(BY MR. WILSON)

Do you recall

reading the county's 2012 pretrial memorandum

Objection.
To anyone.

To whom?
I didn't ask

for the substance of the comment.

16

MR. SMITH:

Object on privilege.

If

17

he provided legal advice about it, we assert the

18

privilege.

19

or you about it, then it wouldn't be privileged.

20

If he talked to Judge Smith about it

MR. WILSON:

Well, the fact that he

21

commented on it even to a client, unless I'm

22

asking for the substance of the comment, isn't

23

seeking privileged information.

MR. SMITH:

If

If the answer is

And I suppose then it'd

be important to say that if the question is a

10

yes or no question, that the answer be limited

11

to yes or no rather than going on into what the

12

yes might have behind it so that we can judge it

13

one question at a time.

14

MR. LOWE:

That's fair enough.

15

realize that if he asks you a yes or no

question, say yes or no.

was filed?

MR. SMITH:

MR. LOWE:

10

MR. SMITH:

11

MR. LOWE:

Objection.
What's the grounds?
Privilege.
Direct him not to answer,

15

Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

Did you read a draft

of the pretrial memorandum?

A.

Yes.

Q.

In 2012, did you have the authority

22

to alter the contents of filings to be made with

23

the courts if you believed them to be wrong?

Page 23

changed between 2009 and 2012?

Yes.

Did you have any role in that

change?

MR. SMITH:

Objection to the extent

it calls for privileged information.

That was a yes or no.

MR. WILSON:

Mr. Sewell something about Mr. Sewell's

performance, you view that as attorney/client

privilege?

while you're asking questions and I am

struggling to hear you.

MR. WILSON:

10

MR. SMITH:

I'm sorry.
It's okay.

I -- but I'm

11

not playing a game about not hearing as well as

performance and didn't limit it to statements

15

made to Jeff.

16
17

MR. WILSON:

I did not limit it to

statements to Jeff.

MR. SMITH:

your performance?

A.

I do.

Q.

And do you recall him saying

something to the effect of there is not a member

of the commission who has not told me how much

they value Jeff's knowledge and his guidance to

might have had a copy or not.

I just -- I don't

14

remember thinking that.

15

much about the article and I don't know if they

16

have a copy of it, or had a copy of it.

don't know.

I don't remember too

Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

Have you had a

chance to look at the article in AL.com?

A.

Yes.

Q.

I'm not going to read the whole thing

into the record or have you do that, but reading

10

it now, do you believe that the newspaper has a

11

copy of your April 2nd memorandum?

12

MR. LOWE:

Is your question to him

13

just from reading this did he assume that they

14

had a copy of it?

15

MR. WILSON:

16

would he draw that conclusion.

17

MR. LOWE:

18

As he reads it now, yes,

There's apparently no

objection.

19

MR. SMITH:

20

MR. LOWE:

21

MR. SMITH:

Well, let me say this -Or is he pondering?


It's -- my concern is

22

that we not have testimony that is protected as

23

privileged because it amounts to the county

24

attorney forming a legal opinion or -- or in

25

effect starting toward work product.

And these

are gray areas, they're certainly difficult for

me, so I don't know what the next question is,

but if the question, if I'm recalling the

question correctly and the question is from

reading this piece of paper here today, do you

think they have a copy, and that is the entirety

of the question, then I'm not going to object to

privilege on some thought he has here today.

10

MR. WILSON:
question.

11

MR. SMITH:

12

MR. LOWE:

13

That's the entirety of

A.

Thank you.
Go ahead.

I don't know if they had a copy of

14

the article or not.

15

there are several quotes that appear to be

16

quotes from the memo in quotation marks which

17

suggests to me that the author of the article

18

had at least seen the memo, but whether they

19

have a copy, I don't know.

20

Q.

I note in the article that

(BY MR. WILSON)

Do you recall at the

21

April 12th, 2013 committee meeting telling the

22

committee, there are changes in that resolution

23

that you need to make that -- that you need to

24

make to make that document comply with the

25

existing law of Alabama and you got the memo

1-800-325-3376

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 42
1

from me about that?

A.

I recall words to that effect, yes.

Q.

And the memo from me about that that

you referred to in that portion of the committee

meeting was the April 2 memo we've been talking

about?

A.

Yes.

Q.

Do you recall that Commissioner

Carrington started the April 12th, 2013

10

committee meeting by saying that the memo that

11

you sent expressed an opinion that the

12

commission's committee structure outlined in the

13

commission's organizational resolution that

14

Mr. Sewell participated in drafting and

15

recommended for adoption in 2010 was somehow

16

inconsistent with the county manager act?

17

A.

I recall words to that effect, yes.

18

Q.

That Mr. Carrington said at the

19

committee hearing?

20

A.

Words to that effect, yes.

21

Q.

Do you recall one of commissioners at

22

the committee hearing on April 12th saying that,

23

with regard to the April 2nd memo that you'd

24

written, we all kind of know what it said

25

because it was published in the paper, or pieces

of it were?

A.

I don't have any memory of that.

Q.

Okay.

We're going to try and play

you an audio clip and see if you can identify

who this is.

A.

Okay.

Q.

This is an audio clip from a

recording produced to us by the county

purporting to be a recording of this committee

10

meeting.

11

(PLAYING RECORDING)

And -- and would

12

it be prudent for you as the county attorney to

13

say, hey guys, I've got this coming up?

14

know, you may have forgotten about it, I don't

15

know, you knew about it, and I don't know, I

16

don't feel like you communicated that to us.

17

The April 2nd memorandum is -- here we had this

18

organizational chart in 2010 when we came in and

19

it -- it says what it says.

20

consent hearing, the contempt hearing, and

21

several months passed by and the issue never

22

became paramount until April 2nd, 2010.

23

think that was in response to Mr. Carrington

24

putting forth a resolution to add another

25

committee for the county manager so that we can

1-800-325-3376

You

And we had the

kind of shift all those departments under county

manager to him, and -- and then had the county

attorney to have a committee.

and Mr. Carrington, I think y'all told me y'all

had talked, and we're in this committee meeting

and then you pull out a memorandum and put it

down, and we kind of stepped back and took that

deep breath, and then a few days later you came

with that other memorandum saying it was, I

And I know you

10

guess, an emergency.

And so I guess my question

11

is why did it become so, you know, a burning

12

issue on April the 2nd, because, you know, we

13

all know kind of what -- what it said because it

14

was published in the paper, or pieces of it

15

were.

16

going, hey, let's -- on the organization, we

17

need to address it -- (RECORDING STOPPED).

That sounds to be Commissioner Joe

I had asked you previously whether

23

prior to April 2nd -- prior to April 2nd you had

24

ever received any written complaints about your

25

performance while employed with Jefferson

County.

I think your answer was no.

A.

None that I can recall.

Q.

Do you recall ever receiving any oral

complaints about your performance prior to April

2nd from any of the county commissioners?

MR. SMITH:

Let me interject an

objection.

I'm concerned that if -- about

discussions between Commissioner Carrington and

Mr. Sewell can include topics that we will

10

assert privilege on and where -- where what they

11

disagree about is the county's legal strategy or

12

the approach to handling a legal matter, that

13

there's a privilege there.

14

that privilege objection at this point on the

15

topic of where the subject of the question is

16

performance concerns or some similar phrase.

17

MR. LOWE:

And so we assert

But just so we're clear,

18

you don't have an objection to him answering

19

questions regarding discussions that solely

20

involve performance issues?

21

MR. SMITH:

22

MR. LOWE:

Well -That don't overlap or

23

disclose anything about legal strategies, work

24

product or whatever?

25

MR. SMITH:

Well, I --

now, are you?

MR. SMITH:
that.

So you're not backing up

Yeah, I'm concerned about

I -MR. WILSON:

Let me, if I can

shortcut this, not to interrupt you.

MR. LOWE:

10

MR. WILSON:

No, please do.


But all I asked was a

yes or no question about whether he ever has had

12

a discussion with a county commissioner in which

13

he received some sort of a negative evaluation

14

of his performance.

16

this, yes or no.

17
18

MR. SMITH:

I didn't ask for the

All right.

No objection

to a yes/no answer to that question.

19

A.

You have to put a time frame on it,

20

before when?

Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

Well, I initially

22

asked from the time that you started work for

23

the county as an assistant county attorney up

24

through April 1st of 2013.

MR. SMITH:

my concern is beyond yes or no.

MR. WILSON:

I'm sorry.
No, I'm only pointing out

Well, sorry.

Yes, no or

I don't recall, I think, would be acceptable.

MR. SMITH:

It would.

10

A.

I don't recall any.

11

Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

Prior to April 2 of

12

2013, did you believe that you had a good

13

working relationship with the commissioners?

14

A.

Yes.

15

Q.

Did you, prior to April 1st of 2013,

16

work with outside attorneys for Jefferson

Objection, assert

MR. WILSON:

MR. LOWE:

Just a yes or no?


Do you have a problem with

him answering yes or no to that?

MR. SMITH:

Not just yes or no.

A.

Please restate.

I'm sorry.

10

Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

Sure.

Prior to

11

April 2nd of 2013, do you have any reason to

12

believe that any of the outside lawyers you

13

worked with had complaints about your abilities

14

or competence?

15

A.

No.

16

Q.

Before April 2 of 2013, had you been

17

notified by anyone that your management of

18

outside lawyers was deficient in any way?

19

MR. SMITH:

Sorry, just a second.

I do.

of things.

If you see under item three and

And where the word "redacted" now

Did the version that you received on

April 2nd have the word "confidential" on the

bottom of each of the two pages?

A.

I don't think so.

I really don't

remember, but -Q.

Do you have a copy of that memorandum

with you?

A.

Not with me.

12

Q.

Does your counsel have one?

13

A.

Probably.

14

Q.

Would you take a look at the original

15

and just tell me if the word "confidential" was

16

on the bottom of page one or page two?

17

A.

It is not.

18

Q.

How did you receive this letter?

19

A.

It was in an envelope -- or excuse

20

me, in an envelope.

21

lunch that day, I had a late lunch, I don't

22

remember why, and got back in a little bit late,

23

later than normal, and it was in an envelope,

24

I think, in my chair in my office, just the

25

envelope.

it, you read it on April 2nd?

A.

You've seen

I read it, yes, when I returned from

lunch that afternoon.


Q.

And you had a discussion that

13

afternoon with Commissioner Carrington and

14

Commissioner Little-Brown about it?

I had a discussion, yes.

I had a

She was -- well, yes.

A.

She was in and out, and I don't

Q.

I don't remember when she was in and

Was the purpose of the meeting to

discuss the contents of the letter?

A.

That was my understanding.

Q.

And, in fact, was that what happened?

A.

Yes.

Q.

Now, prior to receiving this letter,

9
10

had any of the commissioners raised with you any


of the issues contained in the letter?

11

A.

12

Not that I can recall.

Let me look at this a moment. (PAUSE)

Q.

Do you know what the subject of item

six was?

Yes.

16

Q.

And do you think you can describe the

17

subject without revealing any legal advice

18

sought or given?

19

A.

I would need to read it.

I just

20

don't remember, but we have -- if someone has a

21

copy, an unredacted copy, I'll be happy to read

22

it.

23

MR. WILSON:

Well, yes.

If there's a

copy available to him that his counsel has,

then, yes, I would like him to read it, and then

the question will be if he thinks he can

describe the subject matter without revealing

any legal advice.

7
8

MR. LOWE:

Are you formulating your

objection, David, or can he answer.

9
10

So that's still a yes or no.

MR. SMITH:
wait, please.

11

Yeah, I'm retrieving --

(PAUSE)

Let me see yours -- I can't put my

12

hands on the one in my jacket.

13

question is?

14

MR. WILSON:

Thank you.

The

Whether he thinks that

15

he can describe the subject matter of item six

16

without revealing any privileged information.

17

MR. SMITH:

Yeah.

I do think that --

18

not intentionally, I know there was a different

19

phrasing in the question.

20

before did say legal advice.

21

concern here would be over an answer that gets

22

to any aspects of whether there is legal advice

23

or work product there, but he -- he can answer

24

that question, that one question.

25

1-800-325-3376

MR. WILSON:

I think the question

question, and it's a yes or no or I don't know.

MR. SMITH:

(Whereupon the question was

read.)

MR. SMITH:

answered.

Read the question again.

That question may be

Thank you.

A.

Yes.

Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

9
10
11

So without revealing

any legal advice, how would you describe the


subject of item number six?
A.

12

May I see it back?


MR. SMITH:

Rowan, my concern, and

13

I'm happy to have some dialogue about what the

14

right way to deal with this is, but that's a

15

county document.

16

fall within the scope of the third request for

17

production.

18

by August the 30th we'll provide a privilege log

19

about the documents being produced, and so

20

the -- you know, having this witness testify

21

about the -- what would be equivalent to

22

privilege log information that we would provide

23

in order to give a sufficient indication to

24

indicate why we're objecting, to have the

25

witness do that now is inconsistent with the

1-800-325-3376

It's a document that would

The agreement that we have is that

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 56
1

schedule we have established for articulating

these privilege objections to documents.

-- so until we reach the point in our document

production schedule where we're called on to

articulate privilege objections, I don't know of

anything that's more appropriate for me to do

than to assert privilege based on what I know so

far, and not have testimony where I've redacted

it based on privilege already.

And so

So with that --

10

with that -- I'll be glad to hear you if you

11

have a different idea about it.

12

MR. WILSON:

Well, it's certainly

13

news to me that if a non-party pursuant to a

14

subpoena produces a document you can object to

15

examination about it and instruct the witness

16

not to answer on the ground that you're going to

17

produce it later pursuant to the schedule.

18

I -- that's foreign to me.

19

witness produced this document --

20
21

MR. SMITH:

So

It seems to me the

I'm sorry, it's foreign

what?

22

MR. WILSON:

To me.

The witness

23

produced this document.

24

it on the schedule that we agreed to, but that

25

doesn't restrict in any way my ability -- the

1-800-325-3376

The county can produce

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 57
1

fact that we have a schedule doesn't restrict my

ability to ask the witness about it.

If you're objecting on the ground

that you don't believe anyone or this witness

can describe the subject matter without

revealing attorney/client information, you can

instruct him on that ground, but that has

nothing to do with any schedule we've

established.

10

MR. SMITH:

Well, without addressing

11

the last point, that would be my concern that

12

the witness could do that.

13

not going to instruct the witness at any time

14

today because I don't have that authority, but I

15

can assert the privilege as a concern that we

16

have over addressing these redacted parts of

17

this memo and we do that.

18

MR. WILSON:

19

MR. LOWE:

20

And therefore -- I'm

All right.
Can you restate your

question for us, please?

21

MR. WILSON:

Well, let me have the

22

question back to make sure that Mr. Smith is

23

going to assert that the county has a privilege

24

that would interfere with this answer, and then

25

I'll pose a question after that.

(Whereupon, the question was read.)

MR. SMITH:

I'm asserting the

privilege objection to it.

MR. LOWE:

The question specifically

says don't reveal any privilege.

MR. WILSON:

It does, and the witness

has said he believes that he can, he's a pretty

experienced attorney, describe the subject

matter without revealing any privileged

10

information and that's what the Federal Rules

11

require one to do, but if the county's insisting

12

that -- I understand, Mr. Lowe, that you need to

13

protect your client and if the county is making

14

an objection, however unreasonable, the prudent

15

thing to do is to instruct your witness not to

16

answer.

17

MR. LOWE:

Thank you.

We'll have to

18

be prudent and direct him not to answer then,

19

although I also disagree with the validity of

20

the objection.

21

Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

Do you recall

22

whether item six has anything to do with the

23

county bankruptcy?

24

A.

I recall that.

25

Q.

And does it?

A.

No.

Q.

Do you recall whether item six has

anything to do with the resolution of

organization?

A.

I -- no.

Q.

You don't recall whether it does or

you do recall and it doesn't have anything to do

with it?

A.

The latter.

10

Q.

Do you recall whether item six

11

concerns an alleged performance deficiency on

12

your part?

13

A.

I recall.

14

Q.

And does it?

15

A.

No.

16

Q.

Do you recall whether item six,

In my judgment, no.

17

whether you discussed item six with

18

Commissioners Carrington and Little-Brown during

19

the meeting you had on April 2nd?

20

A.

I do recall that I did.

21

Q.

Do you recall whether Commissioner

22

Carrington or Commissioner Little-Brown

23

indicated that they were mistaken, or

24

Commissioner Carrington was mistaken about

25

whatever he wrote concerning item number six.

MR. SMITH:

I'm sorry, I need to hear

that again.

(Whereupon the question was

read.)

MR. SMITH:

I'm going to

have to confer for a second.

7
8

I'm sorry.

MR. WILSON:

We don't even know what

the subject of item six is.

(Whereupon, an off-the-record

10

discussion was had.)

11

MR. SMITH:

Well, the question

12

about -- of whether the commissioners said they

13

were mistaken in item six where item six is

14

redacted entirely, we object to that as invading

15

the privilege.

16

where we have redacted based on privilege

17

paragraph six, we think that this question

18

requires assertion of privilege.

19

I don't know the answer, but

MR. LOWE:

Just so I'm clear, you're

20

saying any answer he may give you regarding

21

questions about item number six would

22

necessarily involve privileged information and

23

therefore you object, so therefore I should

24

direct him not to answer?

25

you're saying.

1-800-325-3376

That sounds like what

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 61
1

MR. SMITH:

Well, I mean, I have to

leave directions to the witness to you

entirely.

MR. LOWE:

Right, but I want to make

sure you're saying any answer he gives with

regard to questions to number six you feel would

be -- would reveal privilege?

8
9

MR. SMITH:

No, I have already

allowed a couple of questions about six to be

10

answered, and so I'm trying to go one question

11

at a time and be as careful as I know how to

12

be.

13

asserting the privilege where we should, then I

14

know we'll hear that there's been a waiver and

15

-- at least assume that would be a part of what

16

course these issues run.

17

doing the best I know how to be selective and

18

exercise the best judgment I'm capable of.

19

that one question, yes, we'll assert the

20

privilege as to that potential response.

You know, the risk is on us if we aren't

21

MR. WILSON:

And so on the fly I'm

So

So to be clear, you're

22

going to assert that the county has a privilege

23

that prevents me from knowing, without knowing

24

what item six was, whether there was any

25

retraction during subsequent discussion about

1-800-325-3376

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 62
1

item six, even though I don't know what it is?

MR. SMITH:

Well, I have to

acknowledge that that's an interesting question

and one that I can't say I'm not perplexed a

little by, but I can envision scenarios where

asking questions around and about it where the

essence of it, the heart of it is privileged

material, invades that -- you know, inevitably

provides that information.

10

I know to do on that one question.

11
12

MR. WILSON:

Okay.

MR. LOWE:

14

MR. WILSON:

15

MR. LOWE:

My hands are tied.


Yeah.

Understood.

I instruct him not to

answer.

17
18

So I assume there

is then an instruction?

13

16

So -- so that's what

MR. WILSON:
Q.

Understood.

(BY MR. WILSON)

When you received

19

the memorandum, April 2 memorandum, did anyone

20

tell you that it was -- contained

21

attorney/client privileged information?

22

A.

No.

23

Q.

Did anyone tell you that it contained

24
25

attorney work product information?


A.

No.

Merrill Corporation - New York

Q.

Did you have an understanding that

the April 2nd memorandum prepared by -- well,

sent by Mr. Carrington, authored by

Mr. Carrington, was prepared in anticipation of

litigation?

A.

No.

Q.

During the conversation you had with

Commissioner Carrington and Commissioner

Little-Brown, did either of them tell you that

10

information in the April 2nd memorandum was

11

attorney/client privileged?

12

MR. SMITH:

Objection.

To the extent

13

that these questions -- I'm trying not to

14

intrude, I assure you, but where these questions

15

are did your client, Mr. Sewell's client, talk

16

to him about the privilege in a communication,

17

then -- which I acknowledge would be, you know,

18

often it's the lawyer who brings up the

19

privilege more than the client, but it could be

20

either way, that the questions about whether

21

they raised or asserted or invoked the privilege

22

for these conversations I think would be

23

privileged.

24
25

MR. WILSON:

All right.

So I take it

your -- I understand your objection is one of

1-800-325-3376

Merrill Corporation - New York

privilege.

3

MR. SMITH:

And I mean it to refer

back to these last three or four questions.

MR. WILSON:

So that you don't want

me -- well, you believe I'm not entitled to

inquire as to whether anyone -- well,

Mr. Carrington or Mrs. Little-Brown said that

the memorandum was privileged?

MR. SMITH:

10

We want to be careful.

We'll confer about it.

11

MR. WILSON:

12

(Whereupon, a short recess was

13

had, 11:29 a.m. - 11:41 a.m.)

14

MR. SMITH:

15

Okay.

Could we have the

question read back?

16

(Whereupon, the question was read.)

17

MR. SMITH:

Object on privileged

18

discussions between the attorney and the client

19

about the privilege.

20

MR. WILSON:

21

MR. LOWE:

Okay.
Although that's not the

22

question that was asked, I'll direct you not to

23

answer out of an abundance of caution.

24
25

Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

Mr. Sewell, did

anyone tell you that the April 2nd letter, that

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 65

you were expected to keep it confidential?

A.

No.

Q.

When you went to the committee

hearing on April 12, did you feel free to

discuss its contents if you so chose?

A.

Sure.

Q.

Up till yesterday, did you have any

reason to believe that the April 2nd memorandum

from Mr. Carrington was something that you

10

couldn't tell other people about?

11
12

MR. SMITH:

legal conclusion from the witness.

13
14

MR. WILSON:

MR. SMITH:

16

MR. LOWE:

18

I think that's just a

form objection.

15

17

Objection, calls for a

Yeah, it is.
It sounds like it.

It

wasn't a privilege objection, so you can answer.


A.

Would you repeat it?

19

MR. LOWE:

I'm sorry?

20

THE WITNESS:

21

(Whereupon, the question was read.)

22

MR. LOWE:

Repeat it.

You can answer that.

23

A.

No.

Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

when you read the --

first read the April 2nd, 2013 memorandum, did

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 66
1

you understand that the -- Mr. Carrington was

seeking legal advice from you?

A.

I did not understand that.

Q.

When you met with Mr. Carrington and

Mrs. Little-Brown that afternoon, April 2nd, did

you understand that they were seeking legal

advice from you in the course of your

discussion?

MR. SMITH:

Objection.

And the

10

question, by seeking legal advice, do you mean

11

to include covering privileged matters?

12
13
14

MR. WILSON:

No, I think I've asked

something different.
Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

Did you understand

15

that the purpose of them having a conversation

16

with you was to seek legal advice?

17

A.

18

I'm -- that's a yes or no answer?


MR. SMITH:

I just have to note on

19

the record that if the conversation involved

20

matters that are privileged, then the privilege

21

objection is still properly asserted whether the

22

purpose was to seek legal advice or not if there

23

is a privileged matter being -- that is the

24

subject.

MR. WILSON:

I think you're

addressing a question I haven't asked.

MR. SMITH:

Well, I'm -- you know,

the deposition is something that I would like to

have addressed more in advance.

I've been working on your document production,

I'm doing the best that I'm capable of of

hearing questions for the first time and making

judgments about privilege.

obstruct.

I've got --

I'm not trying to

I -- I would like to see this

10

finished as well, but I've got the

11

responsibility to assert the privilege where it

12

may apply because I would be irresponsible if I

13

didn't.

14

MR. WILSON:

Okay.

But I still don't

15

understand whether as to this question you were

16

doing so or not.

17

MR. SMITH:

18

MR. WILSON:

Well -You just need to say the

19

word privilege, and then we know what Mr. Lowe

20

will do, or don't say it and then we know what

21

he'll do.

22

MR. SMITH:

Well, we can do it that

23

way.

I've been trying to articulate some

24

grounds because it seemed more appropriate to

25

allow you to fashion a different question, but,

1-800-325-3376

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 68
1

no, I can just start saying privilege.

MR. WILSON:

No, that isn't exactly

my point.

so far with regard to this question, I don't

actually know which -- what you're saying.

6
7

It's that whatever it is you've said

MR. SMITH:

I'm objecting -- I'm

sorry.

MR. WILSON:

MR. SMITH:

Go ahead.
No, no.

Sorry.

What I'm doing

10

my best to do is object by asserting the

11

privilege where the phrase "seeking legal

12

advice" has potential ambiguity and where other

13

elements of privilege, like work product or

14

references to privileged communications that are

15

provided in a document between the client and

16

the lawyer may be protected.

17

I haven't heard the questions before, I'm

18

hearing them now and I'm doing my best to --

19

MR. WILSON:

20

MR. SMITH:

21

MR. WILSON:

22
23

And so, you know,

That's what lawyers do.


I know.

different question.

Was there discussion about anything

other than the items in the memo during the

6

Can you describe generally the other

MR. LOWE:

You'll have to use your

judgment on that one.


A.

I can describe them.

And I don't --

they don't -- I don't recall that any of the

other topics had anything to do with any of the

10

county's litigation or legal advice or legal

11

strategy.

12

about various things and unrelated to my job

13

performance, unrelated to this memo and

14

unrelated to the county's legal issues.

Q.

It was more a personal discussion

(BY MR. WILSON)

That's fine.

We can

leave it at that.

17

During your discussion with

18

Commissioners Little-Brown and Carrington, did

19

either of them tell you that you should keep

20

confidential what you had discussed?

Approximately probably 8:45 that

authority?
A.

Under that document, that document

designated him, I believe, and I would need to

refresh myself on that, because I think that

document in one of its forms designated me as

appointing authority.

look at that, but I'm not certain under Alabama

law, a single commissioner would be an

appointing authority over the county attorney,

10
11

I need to go back and

despite what a resolution might say.


Q.

Do you recall whether the resolution

12

of organization dated November 10th, 2010 says

13

that the county attorney shall report to the

14

county commission as a whole?

15
16
17

A.

I do recall that.

That would be

consistent with Alabama law.


Q.

When you were placed on

18

administrative leave on April the 8th, did you

19

have any question in your own mind about the

20

validity of Commissioner Carrington's action?

21

A.

I did.

And did you express that to the

at Exhibit 3, the April 8th letter, were you

on administrative leave with pay when you

arrived at work?

Absolutely not.

No.

Q.

Did any of them ever tell you why you

had been met with an armed security guard?

No.

Did Mr. Taylor have any explanation

for the basis of placing you on administrative

No.

To this day, do you have any

At the April 12th, 2013 committee --

I don't have an understanding, I have

Q.

Well, let me ask you for your

MR. SMITH:

MR. LOWE:

His theory?
If you think it involves

revealing privileged information you shouldn't

do that, but --

MR. SMITH:

The question was

incomplete.

You were asking for his theory on

why he was placed on administrative --

10

administrative leave with pay?

11

MR. WILSON:

12

MR. SMITH:

Correct.
And in itself the

13

question is one thing if the answer involves

14

privileged information.

15

MR. LOWE:

We can only listen.

And I trust that if he

16

unintentionally reveals something you will alert

17

us to that and move to strike or whatever.

18

my understanding that this deposition is subject

19

to a confidentiality agreement anyway, so

20

nothing should leave this room.

21

answer that question without knowingly revealing

22

some privileged -- attorney/client privileged

23

information or work product, or anything of that

24

nature, then you can answer it.

25

A.

You had originally asked

me if I had an understanding and I -- no one has

expressed to me why I was placed on leave with

pay, but the theory that I have is fairly

obvious that it was that placing me on leave

with pay was a -- was a reaction to the April

2nd memo.

Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

Do you recall at the

April 12, 2013 county commission administrative

services committee meeting that you attended,

10

Commissioner Carrington stated that you were

11

placed on administrative leave with pay because

12

a majority of the commissioners felt he had not

13

acted in the best interests of his client, the

14

county, in bankruptcy settlement negotiations

15

with our creditors?

16

A.

I don't -- that was a multi-hour

17

meeting.

I don't recall those exact words.

18

not saying he didn't say that, I just don't

19

recall it.

I'm

20

Q.

21

or not?

22

A.

Not really.

23

Q.

Not really?

24

A.

I'm not saying that it wasn't said, I

25

Do you recall anything to that effect

just don't remember.

1-800-325-3376

That was a long meeting.

Q.

Right, right.

Prior to the April

12th, 2013 meeting, had any of the commissioners

told you that they felt you had not acted in the

best interests of the county in the bankruptcy

settlement negotiations?

A.

No.

Q.

Do you recall Commissioner Carrington

saying at that April 12th meeting that on

December 11th, 2012, during the first afternoon

10

of an intense three-day negotiating session with

11

a significant number of our creditors in New

12

York City, Mr. Sewell instructed our outside

13

counsel to stop negotiations, even though

14

Commissioner Stephens and I were present and

15

actively involved and some progress was being

16

made?

17

A.

18

effect.

19

Q.

I recall him saying words to that

Let me see if we can play you

20

something again from the audio recording of that

21

committee meeting, see if you can identify the

22

speaker.

On December the 11th, 2012, during

the first afternoon of an intense three-day

negotiation session with a significant number of

our creditors in New York City, Mr. Sewell

instructed our outside counsel to stop

negotiations, even though Commissioner Stephens

and I were present and actively involved and

some progress was being made.

outside counsel convinced Mr. Sewell later that

evening that his instructions were not in the

best interests of the county and the

10

Fortunately our

negotiations proceeded for the next few days.

11

(RECORDING STOPPED.)

12

Can you identify that speaker?

13

A.

That's David Carrington.

14

Q.

Now, when representatives of the

15

county traveled to New York City in connection

16

with the bankruptcy, did they fly in private or

17

chartered planes or in commercial planes?

18

A.

I can only answer that with my own

19

experience, and my own experience would be in a

20

commercial airliner.

I don't know how -- you

21

know, I don't know.

I have an assumption they

22

traveled in commercial airliners, but I don't --

23

I don't know that.

24
25

Q.

Okay.

Do you know in late 2012, how

many nonstop commercial flights there are from

1-800-325-3376

Birmingham to New York City?

A.

I don't have any judgment of that.

Q.

What time of day they leave, when

they arrive?

A.

No, I don't know.

Q.

Okay.

I just don't know.

Now, if I tell you that

Commissioner Stephens, on December 11th, 2012,

was testifying in front of Judge Smith, do you

know of any way he could get to New York City on

10
11
12
13

a commercial airline by that afternoon?


A.

He was not in New York City.

No,

there's no way.
Q.

So you think Mr. Carrington is

14

mistaken when he says that on December 11th

15

Commissioner Stephens and he were in New York

16

City negotiating about the bankruptcy?

17

A.

Yes.

18

Q.

Do you remember an incident at all

19

like the one that Mr. Carrington described that

20

you instructed cessation of negotiations?

21

A.

I would not characterize my

22

instruction as a cessation of negotiations.

23

I have memories of -- of giving instructions

24

to the outside counsel for sure.

25

Q.

1-800-325-3376

While commissioners were present

negotiating?

A.

Sure.

Oh, absolutely.

In some of

those negotiations I was present and there would

be times that I would, you know, instruct or ask

or -- certainly.

Q.

And you viewed that as part of your

A.

Absolutely.

Q.

And you think you had obligations

job?

10

under the Rules of Professional Conduct to do

11

so?

12

A.

Yes.

13

Q.

And you were using your best judgment

14
15

when you did so?


A.

16
17
18

Yes.
MR. SMITH:

Q.

Objection to leading.

(BY MR. WILSON)

Were you using your

best judgment when doing so?

19

A.

I was trying to.

20

Q.

How much time elapsed between the

21

time you sent the April 2 memo that you and

22

Mr. Lawson and lawyers from Maynard Cooper

23

authored, sent it to the commission and the time

24

when you received the performance deficiencies

25

from Mr. Carrington?

MR. SMITH:

Objection to the

foundation of the question.

A.

Six hours.

Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

You may answer.

How was the -- how

was the April 2nd memo that you co-authored

transmitted to the commission?

A.

The same way all other memos that I

send to the commission, of which there are many,

would be delivered by my former secretary, Hope

10

Cockrell.

She would have taken it around in an

11

envelope and put it in each commissioner's

12

office, or probably in their hands, is what they

13

preferred.

14

Q.

So it was received in paper form?

15

A.

Yes, and in their hand.

16

Q.

And I think you testified that the

17

performance deficiencies memo that you received

18

was sitting on your desk or chair when you

19

returned from lunch?

20
21
22

A.

It was about two o'clock that

afternoon.
Q.

It was a late lunch.


Now, do you recall telling the

23

commissioners at the committee hearing on April

24

12th that at the end of your meeting with

25

Commissioner Carrington and Commissioner

Little-Brown, Commissioner Carrington said he

wanted to think about your request that he

withdraw the memorandum he had written?

4
5

A.

He wanted to -- he wanted to -- well,

I'll pause for an objection here.

MR. SMITH:

I'm sorry.

The question

was does he recall what Commissioner Carrington

said in the open hearing?

MR. WILSON:

10

MR. SMITH:

11

MR. WILSON:

No.
No?
No.

I'm not asking

12

about anything Commissioner Carrington said

13

directly.

14

Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

Do you recall that

15

at the open hearing you said that at the

16

conclusion of the meeting on April 2nd with

17

Commissioners Carrington and Little-Brown when

18

you asked Commissioner Carrington to withdraw

19

the April 2nd memorandum that he had written

20

about your performance deficiencies, he said he

21

wanted to sleep on it?

22
23
24
25

A.

I do recall words to that effect,

Q.

And did that in fact happen?

yes.

MR. LOWE:
A.

He did.

You can answer that.


It was not -- it was not

just my request.
Q.

(BY MR. WILSON)

It was who else's

request?

A.

The other person in the room.

10

Q.

Commissioner Little-Brown?

11

A.

Yes.

12

Q.

You also -- do you recall telling the

13

committee that you had prepared a written

14

response?

15

A.

I think I recall that.

16

Q.

Do you still have a copy of the

17
18
19
20

written response?
A.

That I don't know.

I don't have it

with me.
Q.

Did you ever share the written

response with anyone?

22

A.

I don't think so.

23

Q.

When you made remarks to the

24

committee, were you reading in part from the

25

written response?

A.

No, I was not.

The written -- I did

draft a written response but I was never able to

deliver it.

That was my -- I had said I would wait till

April the 8th, but I never got in the building

that day.

Q.

I was waiting until April the 8th.

Where did you prepare the written

response?

On a laptop.

In your office?

No.

don't -- I really don't remember.

14

you know, if I did it at my office I'm sure that

15

it can be retrieved from the county.

don't remember, but I probably would have done

17

that at home.

At the April 12th, 2013 committee

meeting, do you recall Commissioner Bowman

have ever had from Mr. Sewell, he was

23

everything he told me.

occasion where he told me something misleading

25

or wrong.

1-800-325-3376

I have never had an

He has

had 25 years' worth of unblemished service to

this governmental body?

A.

I recall words to that effect, yes.

Q.

Now, during that meeting on April

12th, 2013, what action did the administrative

services committee take?

A.

I believe that there was a vote

taken, a committee vote taken, on a resolution

that I don't recall if there was a written

10

resolution or a verbal resolution, to terminate

11

my employment.

12

four-to-one vote to do so.

I think the vote was a

Q.

And do you recall who the one was?

14

A.

Bowman.

Q.

At some point were you given the

chance to retire instead of being terminated?

in the throat.
Q.

I shouldn't ask which one you picked,

I guess.

If you had -- was there something to

which you agreed that ended up avoiding a full

commission vote?

A.

That day there was no written

agreement.

I think that day the -- well, I

think it was determined, let's just say, that

10

there needed to be a written agreement which

11

would take some time to prepare, couldn't be

12

done that quickly.

13
14

Q.

Ultimately a written agreement was

prepared?

15

A.

Yes.

16

Q.

And that is one of the three

17

documents you produced?

18

A.

Yes.

19

Q.

And did anyone tell you that you were

20

to keep that written agreement confidential?

21

A.

No.

22

Q.

Is there, to your knowledge, a

confidentiality provision in it?

A.

There is not.

extent the agreement contains a commitment on

confidentiality, and so I would note that for

the record.

I was asking about whether you, as to

the document itself, you believe that document

Now, when you took over as county

A.

Yes.

21

Q.

That the county was a party to?

22

A.

Yes.

23

Q.

And you were aware there was -- this

24

was in late 2008, that there was an impending

25

trial on a motion for contempt?

Page 91

A.

I don't recall.

I don't remember

when the contempt proceedings got underway, when

the first motion, I just don't have any memory

of that, or that I wasn't aware, but I certainly

was aware of the consent decree.

Q.

Do you remember that a trial had

started and then was suspended because of Judge

Smith's health for several years?

A.

I do, I just don't remember what

10

year.

11

remembrance of what came first, which year it

12

started.

13

I just don't have any temporal -- not

Q.

Sure.

By the time the trial resumed

14

in 2012, were you more familiar with the issues

15

involved than you had been immediately upon

16

becoming county attorney?

17

A.

Yes.

18

Q.

When you -- say in 2012, were you

19

committed to bringing the county into compliance

20

with the consent decree?

21

A.

Yes.

22

Q.

Did you believe it was your

obligation to try to bring the county in

compliance with the consent decree?

Q.

You understood the consent decree was

an order of the court?

A.

Yes.

Q.

Do you believe you have a

professional obligation to give advice to your

client, even if it is advice that your client

might not want to hear?

A.

Yes.

Q.

Do you think you have any special

10

obligations in view of the fact that your client

11

when you were county attorney was an

12

organization rather than an individual?

13

A.

Yes.

14

Q.

And do the Alabama Rules of

15

Professional Conduct address that?

16

A.

They do.

And did you raise that with the

18

administrative services committee on the 12th of

April, 2013?

20

I did.

Did you quote from Professional Rule

I believe so.

Q.

Do you remember telling them

something to the effect of that the rule --

rules comment reads, in a matter involving the

conduct of government officials a government

lawyer may have the authority to question such

conduct more extensively than that of a lawyer

for a private organization in a similar

circumstance?

A.

Yes.

10

Q.

And do you recall telling the county

11

commissioners on April 12th, 2013 that it was

12

your job to notify you if I think any of you are

13

drifting away from following the law or if a

14

county document needs to be changed, and I do

15

believe it needs to be changed?

I recall that.

17

Q.

What document were you talking about

18

when you said I do believe it needs to be

changed?

20

A.

The document that was changed last

week, the resolution of organization.


Q.

When you say it was changed last

23

week, your understanding is the county adopted a

24

new resolution of organization?

A.

Yeah.

I have not read it, but I read

a newspaper article that it had occurred last

Q.

Is that new resolution of

organization a public document?

A.

Yes.

Q.

So any citizen could acquire it?

A.

Yes.

Q.

Could request it and obtain it?

A.

Yes.

10

Q.

You haven't read it?

11

A.

I have not.

12

Q.

Now, in your April 2nd memorandum you

13

were proposing a change to the resolution of

organization; is that correct?

MR. LOWE:

Do we have an objection to

that?

commissioner is trying to control information to

the four of you and control your access to the

county's lawyers?

A.

Yes, I recall that.

Q.

Who is the one commissioner you were

10

talking about?

11

A.

Carrington.

12

Q.

Did you also tell the commissioners

13

that you believe that in 1997 when the

14

commission was voting on the sewer debt, that

15

you believed that several of them didn't know

16

what they were voting on?

17

A.

Yes.

18

Q.

And do you recall telling them at the

19

April 12th meeting that you believed that when

20

the commissioners were voting in 2002, 2003 on

21

the refinancing of the sewer debt, that several

22

of them didn't know what they were voting on?

23

Yes.

And particular commissioners that you

25

called out by name were ones who had ended up

A.

Some of them.

Q.

And did you say at the April 12th,

2013 meeting with reference to the memo that you

wrote on April 2nd that you were determined you

were not going to see that mistake made again?

A.

I believe that I said that.

Q.

Do you think there is any connection

between the Martin-Bryant plaintiffs' noticing

10

of your deposition and the recent amendment to

11

the resolution of organization?

12

MR. LOWE:

Does that ask him to

speculate as to what your intentions were in

noticing his deposition?

Do you have any --

do you have any view as to whether the fact of

influenced the county in its decision to adopt a

occurred to me.

Sometime in the last couple of weeks?

18

A.

Yeah.

19

Q.

Now, thinking back over your

testimony today, is there anything as to which

11

I've had boxes packed in my

just like your office.


Q.

I'm sure there were boxes somewhere,

12

but -- but is it correct that you situated your

13

office to vacate it?

14

A.

No.

15

Q.

That it was packed up?

16

A.

No, no.

17
18

If I had intended to vacate

my office, it would have been vacated.


Q.

Well, I didn't ask if you intended to

19

vacate, I was asking whether it was situated so

20

that you would be able to vacate it if you

21

didn't get the pay increase you were demanding.

23

MR. WILSON:

So the media

coverage about your having packed this week and

your desk clean, the coverage indicating that

that was a standoff about your leaving is

13

inaccurate?

14

It is greatly exaggerated, yeah.

And so to what extent is it true?

I don't recall ever making a demand

MR. ADELSTEIN:

Mr. Sewell, do you

when it was issued?

A.

I do recall reading this article.

don't remember when, but I recall reading it.


Q.

And outside the commission, did you

11

receive criticism from members of the public

12

about your request for a pay increase to go from

13

three seventy-five to -- to something over four

14

hundred thousand?

(BY MR. SMITH)

I'm just asking if --

did you get, for example, were there web sites

that you saw where people commented negatively

on what you were requesting?

A.

Such as what?

Q.

Such as -- let me give you a second

to read this article.

the comments being made here by John Archibald,

that kind of criticism is what I'm asking

10
11

And along the lines of

about.
A.

No, not -- I mean quite to the

12

contrary.

13

including lawyers in your law firm, that this

14

should be -- the county's attorneys should be

15

paid in accordance with their -- county's

16

resolutions.

18

Q.

I got lots of calls from individuals,

I wouldn't characterize that as

So other than John Archibald in this

19

article, you didn't hear criticism or negative

20

sentiment about your request from anyone else?

21

A.

I don't recall hearing it.

I mean, I

22

don't think that John Archibald and -- his

23

opinions about things are just his opinions.

24

He's entitled to his opinion.

I'm not trying to offer him as an

expert witness or a character reference for

anybody here.

with what was publicized at the time and just

wanting to know if your recollection today is

that this article was the only negative

sentiment you heard about the request you made

in October of 2012 for a pay increase from three

seventy-five to something over four hundred

10

I'm asking -- I'm presenting you

thousand in annual salary?

11

MR. WILSON:

12

A.

Objection to form.

Let me clarify your question for

13

you.

I didn't make a pay request for myself.

14

made a request of the commission that the

15

commission follow their resolution that set up

16

all of the attorneys' salaries in the county

17

attorney's office, and to treat the lawyers in

18

the county attorney's office the same way that

19

all of the other employees of Jefferson County

20

were being treated.

22

That's the context of all

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

If he had called you,

you would have said no comment?


A.

I would have listened to what he had

to say and what his questions were.

(Whereupon, County Exhibit 5 was

10

marked for identification, a copy of

11

which is attached hereto.)

12

Q.

All right.

And then if you could

13

look at County Exhibit 5 -- have you had a

14

chance to look at it?

15

A.

16

Yeah.
MR. SMITH:

All right.

For Jay's

17

benefit, this is an article dated November 21,

18

2012, AL.com, "Jefferson County attorney who

19

earns $375,000 to get $18,750 pay raise."

20

MR. ADELSTEIN:

21

MR. SMITH:

22

Q.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

And you were asked

23

earlier about quotations attributed to

24

Commissioner Carrington.

In this article as you

a quotation there that says we've completed our

evaluations of the county attorney's office and

we find their performance to be satisfactory.

Is that a statement that you heard him make in

an open forum too?

A.

Possibly.

Q.

Okay.

I don't recall.

And then there's another

quotation below that attributed to Commissioner

Carrington that says Jeff is all in, we're

10

moving forward.

11

public or in some open setting?

12

A.

Did you hear him say that in

David, I don't remember -- David

13

Smith, I don't remember if David Carrington said

14

that in a public setting or -- I just don't

15

remember.

16

Q.

Okay.

And --

17

A.

I think that he did.

I think I was

18

sitting at the bench looking at him, but I won't

19

swear to it because I just don't remember.

20

Q.

Okay.

So the public comment here is

21

that what's being -- the work being done by your

22

office is satisfactory.

23

issue -- well, beg your pardon.

24

that quotation.

take issue with that evaluation of being

My question to you is did you

satisfactory?

A.

I don't take issue with that quote.

Q.

But was that evaluation provided at

that time?

MR. LOWE:

I object to the form.

What evaluation is there in this?

And this is

an article from Barnett Wright with AL.com; who

knows whether he's quoting correctly,

paraphrasing or what.

I mean, there's no reason

10

for us to even believe that he's accurately

11

quoting.

12

something that we don't even know whether it's

13

authentic?

So why are you asking him to validate

14

MR. SMITH:

15

MR. LOWE:

The -This isn't a quote by

16

Jeff, this is a quote presumably by David

17

Carrington who Jeff has said he doesn't recall

18

whether he made it or not.

19

MR. SMITH:

I just didn't remember

20

these objections being made this morning when

21

questions were asked about quotations that were

22

perhaps more positive.

23

MR. LOWE:

I thought you were

24

objecting, saying that it would invoke

25

privilege, and in most instances we didn't

I don't think that

MR. LOWE:

Well, that's not what

we're talking about now.

MR. SMITH:

I'm just saying.

No, what we're talking

about now is newspaper quotations, and the

precedent in the deposition --

MR. LOWE:

Right.

And they're

hearsay and they're -- he's said he doesn't

You're right,

Ask your questions.


Well, there's a

quotation here that says we've completed our

heard at that time?

A.

Is that an evaluation that you

I don't remember what I heard at what

time.
Q.

Okay.

And so as of this time frame,

24

October up to November 1st of 2012, you don't

25

remember how the commissioners evaluated the

You just said you

A.

You used the word evaluation.

don't recall ever seeing an evaluation or being

given an evaluation -- a written document.

Certainly no criticism of anything.

Q.

And so satisfactory would be -- you

10

wouldn't regard the satisfactory rating as being

in any way critical of you?

12

A.

No.

(Whereupon, County Exhibit 6 was

marked for identification, a copy of

16

MR. SMITH:

17

Okay.

Let me show you

what I'm marking as County Exhibit 6.

18

Jay, this is a memorandum to

second.

deposition, are you saying this is in no way

subject to the attorney/client privilege and

that he can respond to anything in it?

By introducing this into this

I want to ask a couple of

foundation questions.

Mr. LOWE:

I haven't had the chance

Well, you have marked it

as an exhibit in this deposition.

MR. SMITH:

MR. WILSON:

I have.

I have.

You've provided it to

13

me, I'm not somebody in privity with the

14

county.

15

MR. SMITH:

16

MR. WILSON:

Correct.
And I don't think you

17

have a choice at this point, you've marked it,

18

it's on the record, it's been exposed to me, I

19

don't think you can make a claim that anything

20

in here any longer is privileged.

21
22
23

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

When you issued this,

this went to the public; isn't that right?


A.

Not by me it didn't.

If it did, it

was -- I mean, I recall there being a newspaper

25

article about this, so it --

money on lawyers?

A.

On outside law firms.

Q.

Right.

Which is a budget matter that

requires commission action to pay the lawyers;


right?

11

A.

It requires commission action to

12

establish a budget which includes a lot of

13

things, including paying outside lawyers.

14

Q.

It would be a yes, wouldn't it?

15

A.

It would be what it is.

that's all public contracts, public contracts or

Q.

And in providing the -- this

evaluation to the county commission, did you

have as your ultimate recommendation that the

size of the legal department under your

It's the April 2nd

subject of item four on this memo; right?

Your Exhibit 6 is the subject of

paragraph four of the --

21

A.

Yes.

22

Q.

Thanks.

I'm reading from paragraph

23

four of Sewell Exhibit 2.

24

evaluation of billing rates was grossly

25

misleading in that it compared apples to

1-800-325-3376

It says your

understand that sentence when you reviewed this

memo?

A.

Do you know what that means?

Did you

I -- I can read the sentence, but I'm

not -- the purpose of the memo was not to

evaluate billing rates, the purpose of the memo

was to -- I mean, the billing rates are what

they are, they're -- that's absolutely factual.

The purpose of the memo was to try to figure out

10
11

a way to do more work in-house at less cost.


Q.

But would you agree that what you did

12

in the memo was make a comparison between

13

expenditures on the outside lawyers and how it

14

could be different with a larger legal

15

department reporting to you?

16

A.

17

comparison.

18

the facts are the facts.

19

Q.

Well, I don't think I made a


I think I stated what the facts --

Well, all right.

If the word

20

comparison isn't appropriate, then did you

21

describe how much money would be saved by

22

growing the legal department reporting to you as

23

compared to engaging outside counsel to the

24

extent the county was at the time of these

25

papers?

whether it does or not?

Q.

When you give a five-million-dollar

figure, is that based on comparing one thing to


another?

What are you referring to?


MR. LOWE:

Where is that stated in

here?

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

The memo, the April

20

2nd memo goes on to say, as I've shared with you

21

before, billing rates for outside attorneys

22

include items that are not paid by in-house

23

attorneys, items like client development,

24

vacation days, sick days, holidays, staff

A.

Is that statement in this memo

I don't know if it's true or not, I

don't understand the statement or what relevance

it has to this memo.

It is in the memo.

Q.

It's in the April 2nd memo?

10

A.

Uh-huh (INDICATING AFFIRMATIVE).

11

mean that, what you just read is in the April

12

2nd memo, but it -- I don't know --

13

MR. LOWE:

You're asking him to

14

explain David Carrington's thought processes,

15

which may be impossible to do.

16

A.

I mean, it suggested to me how

17

hastily this was prepared, how quickly the April

18

2nd memo was thrown together without a whole lot

19

of thought.

20

this March 13 memo was also referenced in item

21

number five of the April 2nd memo.

22
23
24
25

Q.

And I believe this memo is also --

(BY MR. SMITH)

And is the

information in paragraph five correct, too?


A.

No.

Carrington is completely wrong.

It's completely false.

1-800-325-3376

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 130
1

Q.

Okay.

A.

Yes.

Will you explain that?


If you read on April -- the

April 2nd memo, paragraph number five,

Mr. Carrington refers to a memorandum, this

County Exhibit 6, dated March 13, 2013.

that I represented that your -- my office had

reviewed 1298 contracts in the year 2012, and

that is a correct statement.

a detailed review of the 2012 -- commission

He says

It says, in fact,

10

agendas is what he's referring to -- indicates,

11

A, the total number of contracts and amendments,

12

many of which were minor -- and so forth and so

13

on -- that were presented to the commission for

14

consideration was approximately one-half that

15

amount, indeed the total number of items on all

16

commission agendas was actually less than 1298.

17

When I read this I realized how

18

quickly again this was -- it was thrown together

19

because the assumption that underlies that

20

statement is that a contract only is reviewed

21

one time in the county attorney's office.

22

That's wrong.

23

a contract that is reviewed in the county

24

attorney's office ever makes it to the county

25

commission agenda.

1-800-325-3376

The other assumption is, is that

That's also wrong.

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 131

Q.

So --

A.

It is -- when a contract comes in for

review in the county attorney's office it almost

always is incomplete, something's not right, it

is logged in, it is logged out, it goes away for

days, weeks or months, it comes back, gets

logged in, it gets logged out again.

1298 is absolutely one hundred percent accurate.

The secretary in the office keeps a log of these

The number

10

and that number was derived from that log and

11

there were 1298 contract reviews in the year

12

2012.

13

Q.

And if a contract, single contract,

14

was reviewed five times, is that a one or a

15

five?

16

A.

It's five.

17

Q.

That's a five in the 1298?

18

A.

Absolutely.

And there also -- it is

19

very common for contracts to be reviewed that

20

never make it to the agenda and never get voted

21

on because along the way it just falls apart.

22

Q.

Is there anything in the memo that

23

explains that where one contract is reviewed

24

multiple times, that you treated that as a

25

multiple as opposed to the one for the

1-800-325-3376

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 132

contract?

A.

Everyone that works for Jefferson

County that is involved in the contract process

that has any experience or tenure there knows

that.

6
7
8

Someone who had some experience -Q.

I think my question was is there any

reference in the memo to that?


A.

There's no reference to that, there's

no reference to where the elevators are or the

10

public restroom, because people that have been

11

there a little while understand that.

12
13

Q.

Well, I don't know -- no one there

has been there as long as you had; right?

14

A.

Almost no one.

15

Q.

And so in the memo it doesn't explain

16

that 1298 represents the multiple times one

17

contract would be reviewed as opposed to just

18

the number of contracts themselves?

19

MR. WILSON:

Objection to form.

20

mean, you're going around and around.

21

document says what it says, and the document

22

doesn't actually say contracts reviewed, it says

23

contract reviews.

MR. LOWE:

And thank -- thank you for

making it.

A.

So the point is, is that on April

2nd, paragraph number five of the April 2nd memo

was just -- it's just false, it's wrong.

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

Did the commission

10

approve your recommendation in the March 13

11

memo?

12

A.

Let me look at my recommendations.

13

(COUNSEL AND WITNESS CONFERRING.)

14

I recommended that the office be

15

comprised of six qualified competent in-house

16

attorneys with adequate skill sets, along with

17

some clerical positions being created.

18

aware that those recommendations were ever

19

implemented.

20

done so since I am not there anymore, but I'm

21

unaware of it.

22

Q.

I'm not

It's certainly possible they have

The last you knew,

23

this recommendation had not been approved in any

24

way, had it?

I think that's right.

Q.

And did you provide them any

comparison in this analysis of the compensation

in the Jefferson County Legal Department to the

legal department of any other local government

subdivision?

A.

Not in -- not in this memorandum, I

did not.

There had been previous conversations

and discussions with this and former commissions

that go back for years that looked at the

10

workload done in-house at Jefferson County

11

with -- you know, comparing that to similar

12

in-house legal offices in other parts of the

13

United States, including Jacksonville, Florida,

14

Duval County, Florida, and other counties around

15

the country, but that was not in this document.

16
17
18

Q.

But in -- that would be relevant,

would you agree?


A.

That was not what I was asked to do.

19

The purpose of the memorandum was to advise

20

about how to save money on the cost of outside

21

counsel, what to do to accomplish that goal.

22

Q.

If you were a decision maker about

23

how to manage this money, would you be

24

interested in knowing how do the salaries in

25

this department compare to similar departments?

would ask for it.

So you -- but you would regard it as

relevant?

MR. WILSON:

A.

Objection to form.

If I were a decision maker?

I don't

know if it would be relevant -- to whom it would

be relevant to, but if I wanted to know I would

10

ask for it.

11

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

And did you

12

understand when you reviewed the April 2nd memo

13

that Commissioner Carrington wanted that kind of

14

information or would have found it useful?

15

MR. LOWE:

Object to the form.

It's

16

asking him to speculate what Carrington wanted.

17

He's already told you what he was directed to

18

do.

19

A.

If Mr. Carrington had wanted that

20

information he could have asked me for it, but

21

he didn't.

22

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

Do you know, as of

23

this time period of March 2013, how the

24

compensation in your office compared to any

25

other Alabama local government legal department?

Objection to form.

You talking about the in-house

(BY MR. SMITH)

Yes.

I do, yes,

uh-huh (INDICATING AFFIRMATIVE).


A.

I had just general knowledge of how

it would compare to the compensation, not just

in Alabama but in other parts of the country

with similarly sized counties with similarly

10
11

sized legal issues and problems.


Q.

And what is your understanding of how

12

your salary compared to other people in similar

13

positions across the country?

14

A.

Well, you have to understand that in

15

March of 2013 there was no other county in

16

the -- that I'm aware of in the United States of

17

America that was going through what Jefferson

18

County's going through.

19

county's -- Jefferson County's compensation

20

scales to let's just say Pike County, Alabama,

21

would, in my judgment, that would be an apple to

22

orange comparison, but perhaps a comparison to

23

Duval County, Florida might not be, where the

24

county attorney earns substantially more than

25

$375,000 a year.

But if you went back, you say the

county circumstances were peculiar in 2013, your

salary increases had been on what percentage

increases for the three years before?

A.

Zero.

Q.

And so in 2010 your salary was three

seventy-five?

I may not be.

I thought you said you

I had no increase despite -- despite

the resolution of the county commission that set

up a ten-step 5 percent per year increase.

I mean, where are we going with all this?

So,

You get to cross-examine him within

the scope of what he asked this morning, but

admittedly I'm not up to speed on what the

issues are in this lawsuit, but I don't think

anything has anything to do with what, you know,

he made and his salary and why he got an

increase or not.

I mean, if you want to talk

10

about why he got terminated, I guess -- I'm not

even sure that's relevant, but --

A.

My salary was exactly $375,000, two

thousand eight, nine, ten and eleven.

Q.

The circumstances in 2013, which were

being in bankruptcy, weren't the same in those

years, was it?

A.

I don't follow your question.

Q.

We weren't in bankruptcy, Jefferson

County was not in bankruptcy until 2011 as I

recall; is that right?

10
11

A.

Jefferson County had not filed a

petition until November of 2011.

12

Q.

My point is this:

You responded a

13

moment ago that -- that your salary was

justified, my word, because being in the county

attorney's office in 2013 was so uniquely

16

MR. WILSON:
A.

Objection to form.

When I took the job as the county

20

attorney I agreed to accept the job at $88,000 a

21

year less than my predecessor, with the

22

understanding that there would be a pay scale

23

established as a matter of public record that

24

would treat all of the lawyers in the county

What had happened by March of 2013,

17

all of the other employees of the county who

18

were now reporting to the county manager, all of

19

their 5 percent merit raises had been reinstated

20

a year earlier, but the commission was the

21

appointing authority for our office.

22

23

being treated odd man out from all the rest of

the employees in the county, which was a premise

that all of the commissioners understood fully.

To what?

To Exhibit 6?

12

Yes.

13

A.

I had done -- actually I had not

done, the -- my predecessor had done an analysis

and had a file that went back many, many years.

attorney's office was his concern and not my

concern, he had quite a file on this matter and

20

you know, the pay was adjusted for the lawyers

in the county attorney's office.

that analysis had been done by the county

attorney's office before, the answer is no?

No, the answer is there had been an

analysis before of, you know, compensation type

analysis for the lawyers, in-house lawyers, but

it predated me as county attorney.

Comparing outside lawyer rates to

In the public hearing on April 12th

that's been talked about before, Commissioner

Commissioner Carrington having made a proposal

for an amendment to the resolution of

organization where in an open public meeting you

11

passed it around to all the commissioners?

12

A.

Yes.

13

Q.

And in that meeting before you did

14

that passing out of your draft, had Commissioner

15

Carrington's idea of adjusting the committee

16

structure to have these other two committees

17

discussed?

objection, I'll just try to state it again.

A.

I didn't understand that.

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

At this meeting where

you handed out your redline of the resolution,

had Commissioner Carrington discussed in that

meeting the idea of making committee adjustments

to add these other two committees?

A.

I don't remember.

Q.

Okay.

10

Do you deny that he did that

before you handed out your version?

11

A.

I don't -- I don't remember.

12

Q.

I understand.

13
14

I'm asking whether you

deny it or not.
A.

15

I don't remember.

He's answered the

exhibit.

Let me ask you to look at that

MR. SMITH:

And for the benefit of

Jay, this exhibit is four pages of type, and on

the front page it begins, "Now therefore be it

resolved by the Jefferson County Commission."

And there's a handwritten note on the right

corner of it that says "134 Carrington

Resolution."

A.

No.

14

MR. LOWE:

Y'all don't need to wait

on him, he'll be fine.

16

THE WITNESS:

17
18

So my question -- did

If I choke and hit the

floor, go get water.


Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

My question about

19

County Exhibit 8 is, if you look at that, does

20

it give you any recollection of whether that's

21

something that you had seen either in that

22

meeting -- well, first, in that meeting before

23

you handed out your version?

24
25

A.

This -- this does -- I've seen this

before, but I don't remember when I saw it and

whether it was before or after, same time.

just don't remember the temporal flow of what

you're trying to ask me about.

Q.

Well, in the hearing -- the committee

meeting of April 12th, did you take issue, to

your recollection, with Commissioner Knight

saying y'all both had your ideas being advanced

in that meeting and -- and it became something

of a battle of ideas at that point?

10

MR. WILSON:

11

MR. LOWE:

Objection to form.
Object.

12

A.

13

was saying.

14

and broken and made no sense at all to me.

15

Still doesn't.

16

Q.

I didn't understand what Joe Knight


I couldn't -- it was just rambling

(BY MR. SMITH)

All right.

And so my

17

question, I guess, is when you handed yours out,

18

what was the context of it, what did you say as

19

you handed it out in this open meeting?

20

A.

Words to the effect that I'm -- let

21

me pass this report out to you that you -- that

22

I was asked to prepare and here it is.

23

wasn't -- that wasn't done as a random act of

24

something -- you know, I was doing that at a

25

request of a -- commissioners, more than one

(Whereupon, County Exhibit 9 was

marked for identification, a copy of

which is attached hereto.)

Q.

Let me ask you to look at what I'm

going to ask to have marked as County Exhibit

9.

if you'll take a second and let me know if that

appears to be the document that you handed out

10

in a committee meeting on or about March 26th,

11

2013?

And ask you to take a second -- Mr. Sewell,

12

A.

13

handed out.

14

don't recall the circumstance of who was -- who

15

said what, when, where at that meeting.

16

Q.

This appears to be a document that I


I don't recall the date.

I just

Well, let's put it at least in some

17

context whether you remember March 26th or not.

18

Can you confirm that was before Monday, April

19

1st?

20

A.

No.

I don't remember when -- in

21

March and April when committees met.

22

remember the dates -- I just don't remember,

23

David.

24
25

Q.

I don't

I'm sorry.
Well, but, you know, April the 2nd is

the day you've testified a great deal about and

Page 156
1

that's a Tuesday, I'll represent to you.

Monday, April 1st, is the first day of April,

and I'm asking about a late March committee

meeting.

as you put that in context whether you can say

one way or the other whether you presented the

commission in an open committee meeting your

proposal about this amendment to the resolution

of organization?

So it seems -- I'd like to ask again

10

A.

Did I present it?

11

Q.

Did you present it before April 1st?

12

A.

I don't know.

13

Q.

You just don't know one way or the

14

other?

15
16

A.

I don't remember -- I don't remember

when the committees were meeting.

17
18

Yes.

Q.

Do you have any reason to believe

that you did this after the April 2nd memos?

19

A.

I don't know.

I don't remember when

20

the meeting -- when the committee meeting was or

21

this was passed out.

22

Q.

Well, let me ask it a different way,

23

then.

24

about performance deficiencies that's marked as

25

the commission -- Sewell 3 is what I said.

A.

I'm sorry.

Q.

That's okay.

It's the April 2nd

counseling on -- according to the document,

performance deficiencies.

MR. WILSON:

MR. SMITH:

My apology, it's Sewell 2.

MR. WILSON:

I saw that here

somewhere.

14

MR. SMITH:

15

THE WITNESS:

16

MR. SMITH:

17

Are you okay?


Yeah, fine.
I mean, do you need water

before we keep going?

18
19

I'm

sorry.

12
13

I'm thinking that -- have

I said the number wrong?

10
11

3, here we go.

THE WITNESS:
Q.

No.

(BY MR. SMITH)

Okay.

Do you have

20

any recollection of providing a redlined amended

21

resolution of organization after the time when

22

you had counseling with Commissioners Carrington

23

and Brown on April 2nd?

24
25

MR. WILSON:
A.

1-800-325-3376

Objection to form.

I don't remember when I -- when the

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 158
1

meeting was when I handed -- I'm sorry, I just

don't remember when the meeting was.

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

All right.

So if the

-- if what Commissioner Knight was saying in his

statement here can be boiled down to there was a

meeting and both Carrington and Sewell presented

their thoughts on the resolution of

organization, if that's what he's getting at,

your testimony is that you don't have any

10

recollection at all of when that was?

11

A.

I don't have a recollection of when

12

that was, but the way you phrased your question

13

is not what he -- is not what he was getting

14

at.

That's not what happened.

15

Q.

Well, those are two different things.

16

A.

I don't think you understand what

17

happened.

18

Q.

Well, I wasn't there for sure.

19

A.

I was.

20

Q.

But I'm using the same meeting

I don't remember when it was.

21

information that was the subject this morning,

22

and so that's the way I'm trying to get into the

23

fact that there was a meeting.

24

don't remember when the meeting was, but you do

25

remember handing out your redlined amended

1-800-325-3376

So -- so you

resolution of organization?
A.

I do -- I remember handing out -- you

know, drafting and handing out a -- this

exhibit, County Exhibit 9.

remember when it was.

Q.

All right.

I just don't

And can you confirm for

me that when you did that, it was the first time

you had ever submitted that document to the

client?

10

A.

To the county commission?

11

Q.

Yes.

12

A.

No, cannot confirm it.

13

Q.

You don't know one way or the other?

14

A.

No, I do know.

15

Q.

When was this distributed before?

16

A.

It had been discussed in executive

17
18

session prior to the meeting.


Q.

Well, I don't want to get into

19

executive session, so -- so we'll move to strike

20

that testimony.

21

that happened in executive session.

22
23

MR. WILSON:

Well, you asked -- you

asked the question.

25

MR. SMITH:

I know that, but that

doesn't change his responsibility where I don't

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 160

know the answer to --

MR. WILSON:

He didn't tell you

anything about the substance, he simply answered

your question about whether it was discussed

with the commission before.

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

All right.

So if the

question to you is whether you knew Commissioner

Carrington had some ideas about amending the

resolution of organization in late March, your

10
11
12
13

answer is yes or no?


A.

Commissioner Carrington was not

trying to amend the resolution of organization.


Q.

Okay.

So your testimony would be

14

that he had no ideas that he put forth in this

15

open meeting on March 26th about amending the

16

resolution of organization at all?

17

A.

That would be correct.

18

Q.

Okay.

And what you've got over there

19

as County Exhibit 8, does it relate to the

20

committee structure?

21

A.

It would -- it would -- if this, if

22

Exhibit 8 has been adopted, it would have

23

circumvented the resolution of organization.

24

didn't amend, it was -- if you look at it

25

carefully, it purported to amend the resolution

1-800-325-3376

It

www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013

of organization without following the procedure

in the resolution of organization for amending

the resolution.

Q.

It was circumventing it.

I'm not saying that this was

presented as a motion.

that he asked for this to be approved in a

motion in this open meeting of March 26th?

8
9

A.

Do you have some memory

I think that what I would have to say

about what his intent was and what he expressed

10

to me would be covered by the attorney/client

11

privilege.

12

Q.

No, I think what I asked was in this

13

meeting of March 26th, wasn't there some motion

14

to approve this as an amendment?

15
16
17
18
19
20
21

A.

I think you would have to go back --

not as an amendment.
Q.

And so was this a discussion of ideas

about how to adjust the committee structure?


A.

There had been a -- I'm going to say

a very little bit about this.


Q.

Well, I don't want you to go to

22

privileged information.

23

March 26th and whether you can say whether or

24

not this was a part of a discussion on how to

25

amend the resolution and structure committees?

1-800-325-3376

I'm asking about the

A.

It was not a discussion about how to

amend the resolution of organization.


Q.

Was it a discussion about the

committee arrangement in the resolution of

organization?

A.

No.

No, it was not.

It was quite

the opposite of that.

subject of discussion in an executive session.

Q.

10

And it had been the

I'll ask another question.


Now, in County Exhibit 9, in the open

11

meeting, do you remember -- and I'm talking

12

again on March 26th and you've said you don't

13

remember the day -- but the meeting where you

14

handed out your redlined version, do you

15

remember that it was an occasion where -- where

16

after you handed out yours that there was

17

discussion and then consensus that we'll review

18

this and then come back to it?

19

A.

I don't remember that.

20

Q.

Do you have any basis for denying it?

21

A.

Yes.

22

Q.

In that open committee meeting that

23

day, did you provide any recommendations in that

24

meeting for your version to be approved as read?

25

A.

1-800-325-3376

Not in that meeting.

Q.

Did Commissioner Carrington's

document say anything explicit about not

complying with the county manager act?

A.

Which document?

Q.

County 8.

A.

I don't think so.

7
8
9

I don't think it

addressed the county manager act at all.


Q.

Did the -- did Mr. Carrington's

document say anything about not complying with

10

the Federal Employment Discrimination Consent

11

Decree?

12

A.

Exhibit Number 8?

13

Q.

Yes.

14

A.

I don't think it mentions the consent

15

decree.

16

Q.

Does the document that Mr. Carrington

17

submitted in that meeting, which I'm handing to

18

you as County Exhibit 8, did it recognize the

19

role of the county manager more than the

20

resolution of organization that was in place at

21

that time?

22

MR. WILSON:

Object to the form.

23

A.

I don't think so.

24

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

25

Does the -- does the

existing resolution of organization provide for

Merrill Corporation - New York

MR. WILSON:

Objection.

Now I don't

know which -- what's the existing?


A.

Yeah, I don't know either.

I haven't

seen the current one.


Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

All right.

Your

version, which we've got marked as County

Exhibit 9, was a comprehensive amendment of the

resolution.

10
11
12
13

Is that a fair description?

MR. WILSON:
A.

Objection to form.

My version was a lawful amendment to

the resolution.
Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

What I mean to ask is

14

it was, from beginning to end, the version of

15

the existing resolution of organization with

16

redlining to the extent you thought it should be

17

changed?

18

A.

It was that.

19

Q.

But was it that?

20

A.

It -- it was that, but it was more

21
22

It was more than that.

than that.
Q.

Well, I'll ask the next question.

23

And your version changed the committee structure

24

within the commission from five committees to

25

one committee; is that right?

Merrill Corporation - New York

It proposed that.

Yes, I understand it was never --

A.

Approved.

Q.

-- acted on in the way of approval.

A.

Right.

Q.

And what did your version provide in

the way of an amendment for elected officials or

agencies that didn't report to the county

manager?

10

A.

The document that I drafted, that I

11

handed out that I don't remember when I handed

12

it out, I don't remember the day --

13
14
15

Q.

But you do acknowledge it was a

public meeting?
A.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, absolutely -- well,

16

when it was handed out, when this version was

17

handed out, it was a public meeting.

18

going to get into.

20
21
22

Q.

There had

Well, which I didn't ask about and I

don't want to have testimony about.


A.

Okay.

This Exhibit 9 was -- was a

23

proper and lawful amendment to the resolution of

24

organization which was never approved.

25

Q.

1-800-325-3376

My question was did your draft

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 166
1

provide any amendment for the elected officials

or the agencies that don't report to the county

manager?

A.

I don't remember.

Q.

Well, look if you would and let me

know what, if any, change of that sort was

made.

8
9

A.

If you look at the two exhibits, A

and B, that were lined through, I don't see any

10

reference at all to -- in the original version

11

or the revised version to elected officials

12

other than the county commission.

13

understand your question.

14

Q.

Maybe I don't

Well, did you make provision for the

15

fact that there are people in the county who

16

don't fall under the county manager and how --

17

who their appointing authorities would be or how

18

they would be fit within the organization?

19

A.

The -- this document would not be the

20

place, you would not put something in this

21

document about an elected official reporting to

22

the county manager in a situation where the

23

elected official doesn't report to the county

24

manager.

25

independently elected, either statutory or

1-800-325-3376

An elected official is an

constitutional office in the State of Alabama,

and would not report to the county manager or

the county commission.

Q.

And so is that addressed in any way?

A.

I'm not following you.

Q.

The place of elected officials or

their relationship to the county committees or

who's a liaison to what, does it address those

in any way?

10

A.

The -- again the elected officials

11

are independently elected officials, they

12

don't --

13
14
15

Q.

But what about the agencies where

they are?
A.

If you have something in here you'd

16

like me to look at, I'll be happy to look at it,

17

if you can just direct me to it.

18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25

Q.

You've struck a lot of language on

page six; is that right?


A.

There is -- there is redlined or

lined out language on page six.


Q.

And is any of that provided for

elsewhere or is that just all deleted?


A.

I don't remember -- without sitting

here and going through all of this, I don't know

if it was moved or -- I don't remember.


Q.

Does the county manager act require

that the county have just one committee?


A.

The county manager act makes the

county manager directly and solely responsible

for all operating departments of the county.

Q.

That wasn't my question.

My question

was does the county manager act require that the

organization of the county be one that has only

10
11

one committee?
A.

It doesn't expressly state that, but

12

I think that is a fair inference of the act and

13

I think that is clearly the legislative intent.

14
15

Q.

So am I correct that your answer is,

no, it doesn't?

16

MR. WILSON:

Objection to form.

17

A.

My answer is my answer.

18

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

But is it a correct

19

answer to say, no, the county manager act does

20

not address the number of committees that are

21

permissible?

22

MR. WILSON:

23

MR. LOWE:

Objection to form.
Asked and answered.

Q.

I've answered your question.

Is that right?

Q.

Can you point me to any provision in

the county manager act that addresses the number

of committees?

A.

No.

Q.

Can you point me to any provision in

the county manager act that specifies who can

chair a committee?

A.

No.

Q.

Can you point me to any provision in

10

the county manager act that says what a

11

committee's agenda may consist of or not?

12

A.

Yes.

13

Q.

Okay.

14

A.

I can't quote you the page and verse,

15

but the county manager is given the exclusive

16

and sole authority to supervise the operating

17

departments of Jefferson County.

18

means, among other things, that a county

19

commissioner does not have the authority to

20

a committee in place that suggests that a county

question was -- and I'm asking a different

question obviously rather than reading what I

just said, but does the county manager act have

rules about the way that the committees are

organized at all?

7
8
9

A.

My

I think -- I think the county manager

act informs how the committees are organized.


Q.

All right.

And by answering it as

10

you did, I assume that there's nothing explicit

11

there about committees, is there?

12

A.

The word -- I don't remember the word

13

"committee" being used in the county manager

14

act, I don't recall that.

15

Q.

All right.

And so would you agree

16

that changes made to the resolution of

17

organization as you have made them in County

18

Exhibit 9 are not the only way to bring the

19

resolution of organization into full compliance

20

with the county manager act?

21

A.

I would -- no, I don't know that I

22

would agree with that.

23

Exhibit Number 9 is "a" way.

24

"the" way, I haven't thought about that.

25

Q.

1-800-325-3376

I would agree that the


Whether it is

Well, that's my question.

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 171

A.

But it's clearly in my judgment the

best way to bring it into compliance with the

law.

Q.

I'd suspect that since you handed it

out to everybody, but my question is, is it the

only way?

7
8

A.

I don't -- I would have to research

that and study that.

Q.

I don't know.

It may be.

And how can you make a case when the

10

county manager act says nothing about

11

committees, that perhaps the only way to be in

12

compliance with the county manager act is to

13

make changes so that it has one committee by

14

your design?

15

A.

Because when you take the label of

16

operating department away from the name of the

17

committee, you no longer have any practical way

18

to differentiate among the committees, and you

19

no longer have any need, practical need, to have

20

five separate committee meetings when one would

21

do.

22
23
24
25

It makes no sense.
Q.

These were ideas you chose to advance

in this open meeting; right?


A.

These -- well, this was an effort to

bring the resolution into compliance with the

county manager law in the best possible way.


Q.

Does the county manager act prohibit

having a committee of the county manager's

domain for the county manager to chair?

prohibit that?

A.

Does it

The -- the county manager law does

not address a committee -- it doesn't address

committees for county managers.

Q.

And does the county manager act

10

prohibit having a committee of the county

11

attorney's domain for the county attorney to

12

chair?

13

A.

Again, the county manager law does

14

not address, to my memory, a committee for a

15

county -- it doesn't address it.

16

Q.

Now, looking at the transcript of the

17

April 12 proceedings of the administrative

18

services committee, let me read again -- and

19

everything I read from this is -- is unofficial

20

and prepared simply by my office, but I have

21

reviewed it and I'll represent to you that I did

22

my best.

that, you know, why was this a burning issue on

April 2nd.

Mr. Knight said yeah.

Then you said:

There are a lot,

Jefferson County's got a lot of burning issues

and all of them came across my desk in the

intervening period from March 14th and April

2nd, the other things that were the higher

The only one that you

wrote on April 2nd that I know of.

Are you really saying you don't know

which one I'm talking about?

about the April the 2nd memo to the county --

No, no.

A.

Yeah, I know which you're talking

The privileged memo --

about, the one delivered was that morning.

Q.

It was being talked about in the

April 12th hearing, so my question again is

between March 14th and April 2nd you were busy

with other issues and it was April 2nd before

10

you finally got around and transmitted the memo;

right?

13

A.

MR. LOWE:

I'm lost.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Knight, if

14

I heard what you said, Mr. Knight brought up the

15

date of April 2nd in his question to me.

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

Right?

He does make

reference to April 2nd.

I don't -- yeah, I don't recall

19

referring to an April 2nd memo.

but I don't really understand what you're asking

21

me.

22

Q.

Maybe I did,

Well, let me try to do a better job.

23

Your statement in the opening proceedings to all

24

assembled was that the reason that the April 2nd

25

memo did -- went out when it did was that that's

when you finally got around to it because there

were so many burning issues for the county to

deal with.

A.

Is that true?
I suppose it is.

I don't have any

reason to think that it isn't, if that's what I

said.

Q.

The delay from March 14th which you

mentioned in your statement as the date a

meeting was canceled, the delay was due to the

volume of major issues you had to handle; is

that you delivered and -- and then getting

summoned to a meeting that same day, I think you

said six hours later.

correctly?

Am I recalling that

That's right.

Q.

And is it your testimony that

14

Commissioner Carrington decided for the first

time that morning when he got your memo that you

16

were not performing your position to his

17

satisfaction, prepared a two-page memo outlining

18

other deficiencies, arranged Commissioner

kind?

Did you understand

from your April 8th memo that you got that the

I understood that David Carrington

was saying whatever David Carrington said here.


Q.

14

Excuse me -- pardon me.


In the April 8th memo it says, during

15

this time period you are instructed to have no

16

verbal, written or other contact with any county

12

felt like he had not acted in the best interests

of his client, the county, in bankruptcy

When placed on administrative leave with pay on

Monday, April the 8th, 2013, Mr. Sewell was

instructed in writing to have no verbal, written

or other contact with any county employees or

evening after being placed on administrative

instructed the county's outside counsel that

scheduled creditor negotiation session in

Dallas, the very next day, Tuesday, April 9th,

that they were not authorized to negotiate with

the creditors on behalf of the county even

though Commissioners Stephens and Knight would

be participating in the negotiations, and they

would not be paid for any of their legal fees if

they attended the negotiations in Dallas.

Now, did you hear what I read?

10

A.

Yeah.

11

Q.

Okay.

And my question is I'm not

12

aware in the committee meeting of April 12th of

13

your denying that allegation.

14

allegation true?

Is this

15

A.

What is the allegation?

16

Q.

That on the night of that -- on the

17

night of April the 8th at 9:30 p.m. Central

18

Daylight Time, that you made such communications

19

to the county's outside counsel.

20

isn't it?

21

A.

That's true,

You -- I'm sorry, I'm confused.

22

You're asking me if something that David

23

Carrington read on April the 12th which

24

referenced the reason that I was put on

25

administrative leave the morning of April the

8th was because of something I did the evening

of April the 8th?

Q.

No.

A.

Because that's what I thought you

said, and I don't understand how I could be put

on leave on the morning of April the 8th for

something that had not occurred.

8
9

Q.

That was not my question.

If I

phrased it that way, that was not my intention.

10

I was reading what he had read in the hearing.

11

My question is simply this:

12

meeting the subject was raised that after you

13

were put on leave on the morning of the 8th,

14

that on that night of the 8th, some 12 to 14

15

hours later at 9:30 p.m. that night, that you

16

did communicate and issue directives to outside

17

counsel as Mr. Carrington said in his statement?

18

A.

In the committee

Not as Mr. Carrington said in his

19

statement.

His statement contained

20

inaccuracies.

21

Q.

But putting aside what Mr. Carrington

22

said, is it true that you contacted the county's

23

outside counsel on the night of April the 8th at

24

9:30 p.m. and told them that they were not

25

authorized to make any settlement officer --

Is it true that you said what I just

read?

A.

What you just read was part of

discussions that had gone on.

And it's not true

that this was not addressed at all in the April

12th hearing.

It was addressed, but it was

10

addressed in a way that would not reveal what

11

communications occurred between the outside

12

lawyers and me.

13

part of that, David, was -- was the discussion

14

on April 12 about what a lawful order is and is

not.

Q.

And that was part of the --

remember what your response was in the meeting

as to whether you did make contact with outside

counsel?

A.

My recollection of what was said in

10

the meeting on April the 12th was -- was no

discussion at all about any substantive contact

or discussion between me and outside counsel.

13

That's my memory of it.

question at a time to the -- the -- and so my

13

question was, did you deny it in the hearing

14

as -- as a contact that you made on the night of

15

April the 8th?

16

A.

My recollection, what I said in the

17

hearing had to do with the validity of this

18

purported order that he had given me.

19

recall trying to explain how an order can be

20

unlawful and how a lawyer cannot be ordered to

21

do something that violates the Professional

22

Rules of Conduct.

23

There was a lot of discussion of that.

Q.

And I

That was not a lawful order.

Come on, David.

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

Mr. Sewell, in the

meeting, you've discussed here today that you

talked about an unlawful order; is that right?

A.

Yes.

Q.

And it was your judgment that being

told not to talk to outside counsel was an

unlawful order; is that right?

10

A.

It was my judgment that an order that

11

had on its face or in its effect a directive for

12

me to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct

13

is unlawful and is not to be followed.

14

Q.

Well, I'd rather get a direct answer

15

and then allow you to explain.

Were you saying

16

that the order in the April 8th memo was such an

17

unlawful order as it pertains to not having

18

contact with outside counsel?

19

A.

I believe I said that.

20

Q.

And so am I correct that because of

21

your application of the rules of ethics and

22

professional conduct, that you had that conduct

23

anyway, that conduct with outside -- contact

24

with outside counsel, excuse me.

25

A.

1-800-325-3376

8

You say they contacted you.

A.

I'm

I -- I answered a question, several

questions, from outside lawyers all day long

10

that were contacting me with requests for what

11

is going on and what are we supposed to do.

12

Q.

And did you -- am I correct, then,

13

that you didn't comply with the directive of

14

April 8th?

15

A.

The directive of April 8th put me on

16

administrative leave with pay.

17

left the courthouse.

18

Q.

I complied, I

I mean in terms of the paragraph that

19

says don't have contact with the lawyers, you

20

did have contact with outside legal counsel?

21
22

A.

I spoke to lawyers several times

during the day.

Q.

After you got the leave notice?

24

A.

Yes.

continued to.

A.

Would you deny that they went

commissioners calling me on April the 8th, and

21

Is it correct that after your meeting

with Commissioners Carrington and Brown on April

with outside counsel that was contrary to an

order given to you?

There was no order given to me on

involved and some progress was being made.

Was one of the concerns about your

Q.

(BY MR. SMITH)

Before we look at

County Exhibit 10, as I recall your testimony

earlier about the privileged memo of April 2nd,

you said that the names of the senders on that

10

memo are you, Theo Lawson, Ted Hosp and Grace

11

Murphy.

12

Murphy, but is that your memory of the four

13

names of who sent that memo?

And you were less than sure about Grace

A.

Yes.

Q.

And is that the memo that your theory

16

is led to your separation?

separated from their job assignment with the

I don't know if he's performing --

he's still employed.

performing the same --

I don't know if he's

Q.

You don't know what he does?

A.

Right.

It's my understanding that

Ted Hosp, who was the lead outside lawyer at

your law firm, has been taken off the case.

10

I may be wrong about that.

11

Q.

Do you have any evidence of that?

12

A.

I do, but I think it would be

13

privileged.

14

Q.

15

He's still of record in the case and

he's moved to Montgomery.

16

A.

Okay.

17

Q.

Do you -- and Ms. Murphy is here with

18

us today; is that right?

19

A.

She's sitting in the room with us.

20

Q.

So according to your testimony, four

21

people sent the memo and one got fired?

23

MR. WILSON:
A.

Objection to form.

And the other -- other three got

their relationship and representing the county

in this case significantly altered, is my

understanding.
Q.

But again, you know --

(BY MR. SMITH)

Are you the only one

who's been terminated from employment of the

people who sent the memo?

A.

As far as I know.

Q.

All right.

Let me ask you to look at

County Exhibit 10.

Is this the agreement that

represents the terms of your settlement with the

county?

10

A.

Appears to be.

11

Q.

And you were in this April 12th

12

committee meeting that we've talked about during

13

your testimony today when the beginning of this

14

deal was struck; is that right?

15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22

A.

Well, when -- when the need for an

agreement was first broached, yes.


Q.

And then the broad financial terms

were outlined; right?


A.

Well, the broad terms generally were

outlined.
Q.

At the end of the April 13th

committee -- that was really my question.

23

A.

April 12.

24

Q.

Excuse me, April 12, 2013 meeting;

25

right?

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 208
1

A.

The -- yeah.

Q.

All right.

Now, I want to ask you

about the context in which that occurred.

correct that this committee, the administrative

services committee, when it takes action it's to

be referred on to the full commission in a

regular full commission meeting; is that right?

8
9

A.

Is it

In -- in the normal course of things,

that would be the normal course of operations.

10

Q.

Yeah.

11

A.

Of course, there was nothing normal

12
13

And so in this meeting --

about this event.


Q.

But in the meeting of April the 12th,

14

the discussion was had and then a vote was

15

taken; is that right?

16

A.

There was a vote taken.

17

Q.

And the vote in the committee was to

18

consider a resolution to terminate your

19

employment for cause; is that right?

20

A.

I think so.

21

Q.

And --

22

A.

Although I never saw -- I never

23

saw -- I don't recall having seen any document.

24

I just don't know -- I don't know that.

25

I think there must have been something to vote

1-800-325-3376

I mean,

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 209

on but I don't think I ever saw it.

Q.

If your employment had been

terminated for cause, it would have had the

effect of denying or nullifying or preventing

the payment of the retirement conversion

benefit; is that right?

A.

No.

Q.

Well, if it were for cause and that

I don't believe that it would.

were upheld as the state of things, if that were

10

the outcome, does it have any effect on your

11

retirement conversion benefit at all?

12

A.

I don't think that it does.

13

Q.

So your testimony today is that at

14

the end of the committee meeting on April 12th

15

when they voted to pass a resolution

16

recommending that your employment be terminated

17

for cause, that you were not in any peril of

18

having the approximate nine-month salary

19

continuation period be pulled away and not owed

20

to you?

21

A.

22
23

Is that your testimony?


Not my -- my testimony is what I

said.
Q.

Well, I'm asking -- why I'm seeking

24

clarification is, are you saying that it wasn't

25

at risk with that vote?

1-800-325-3376

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 210

A.

I told you -- you asked me the

question, I told you what I thought.

whether it was at risk or not or who might have

thought it was at risk, I mean, I -- I don't

know what other people were thinking.

Q.

No, I'm not asking what other people

were thinking.

at risk potentially?

A.

I didn't -- did you think it was

Well, everything was at risk

10

potentially.

11

Q.

12

I don't --

Including the retirement conversion

benefit in the face of that vote; right?

13

A.

Potentially.

14

Q.

And so the resolution that was made

15

after the vote that -- in which you kept the

16

retirement conversion benefit was -- was that

17

item that possibly was at risk; is that right?

18

A.

I don't know.

I --

19

Q.

The retirement conversion benefit is

20

paid to you under your severance agreement; is

21

that right?

22

A.

That's right.

23

Q.

That's my term.

It's called

24

agreement, what we've marked as County Exhibit

25

10.

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 211

So other than the retirement

conversion benefit, were you paid any money

as -- in your settlement deal?

A.

I believe so.

Q.

And I'm including in the retirement

conversion benefit there the vacation pay, which

is some -- some number of weeks, I think; is

that right?

A.

Right.

10

Q.

So other than that amount, whatever

11

that is, there wasn't any other money paid to

12

you in the context of your involuntarily

13

retiring, was there?

14

A.

Not that I'm aware of.

15

Q.

And were you represented by counsel

16

on April the 12th personally?

17
18

A.

represented or not.

19
20

I don't know if I was officially

Q.

Your counsel here today, Mr. Lowe,

was with you that day; is that right?

21

A.

He was in the room.

23

Q.

He was there as a colleague, friend?

24

A.

He was there.

25

Q.

All right.

22

He wasn't with

me.

1-800-325-3376

And did you have any

Merrill Corporation - New York


www.merrillcorp.com/law

JEFFREY M. SEWELL - 7/30/2013


Page 212

thought that you had a claim as some sort of

whistle blower?

A.

When?

Q.

April 12th, the day that this deal

5
6
7
8
9

was made?
A.

I don't recall when I might have had

a particular thought.
Q.

In the settlement you weren't paid

any money separate from involuntary retirement

10

in the sense of different money for other

11

claims, were you?

12

A.

No.

13

Q.

And as a lawyer, you're well versed

14

in what rights you may or may not have; is that

15

right?

16

A.

I -- I'm a lawyer.

17

Q.

But your -- your honest assessment

18
19
20
21

would be that you're a good lawyer, isn't it?


A.

I'm a lawyer.

I'm not here to boast

or brag or denigrate or anything else.


Q.

All right.

If you look at paragraph

22

five of the County Exhibit 10, am I correct that

23

you have received no greater benefits, rights or

24

privileges than anyone who takes involuntary

25

retirement?

I'm not aware that I've received any

additional, extra, greater things.

Paragraph eight of County

contractual consequences for a breach of that;

that involves issues about privilege and I am

MR. SMITH:

Well --

MR. WILSON:

You could just ask him

is it a binding agreement -- says it's a

contract.

MR. SMITH:

You know, if we had

talked before the deposition about what

everyone's objectives were, then that would make

some sense, but as it is, I think I just need --

MR. WILSON:

Go ahead.

10

MR. SMITH:

-- to do the best I can

11

to ask the questions about it.

12

MR. WILSON:

13

MR. SMITH:

Okay.

Go ahead.

And I think that in this

case where your objectives are what they seem to

15

be, that this is highly relevant.

17

MR. WILSON:
Q.

Go ahead.

(BY MR. SMITH)

Now, to go back and

18

cover what I was in the middle of trying to

19

cover, is it true that you did not receive any

20

money on top of retirement or sick leave

21

conversion benefits to compensate you as a

22

whistle-blower victim of some unlawful

23

retaliation?

24
25

Is that true?

Where does it say whistle

blower in here?

It doesn't.
Well, why are you throwing

Your question -- I'm confused.

MR. SMITH:

Well, just let me --

please, please.

MR. LOWE:

That's -- I just think

that's an improper question, but -- now that I

know that, just ask it again, that that's not

part of the document.

11

Would you please read my

question?

Q.

Please?

16

A.

As I've told you before, the only

compensation that I'm receiving is sick leave,

retirement.

I think we've covered that.

Has the county performed as of today

all of its obligations under the agreement?

Do you have any knowledge of any

failure to perform as of today?

Yes.

A.

Pay the health insurance claim.

What is it?
I

10

don't have any evidence that has been paid.

I'm getting letters that it has not been paid as

recently as about -- I don't know, about 10 days

And what is the dollar amount of this

item?

I think it's $800.

it's not the county's error --

No, it's not.


I thought we were here

to ask questions.

Is that a question?

No, it's not, it's a

debate because we're having debates.

Do you have -You're trying to make it

Well, I'm asking if this

20

was the implementation of what he was

recommending.

memo.

If the answer to that is yes,
