MY OPINIONS IN THIS MATTER 29. As described more filly below, it is my opinion that Mr. Link and Ms. Rockenbach have acted in an ethically proper manner in this case regarding the documents in question. EFTA02765511 30. It is my opinion that the documents in question were not inadvertently provided to or wrongfully obtained by Mr. Link and Ms. Rockenbach. a. The documents were on a disc labeled "Epstein Bate Stamp" that was obtained in the ordinary course of trial mr aration by Link & Rockenbach from their client's prior counsel, the respected firm of b. It reasonably appeared to Mr. Link and Ms. Rockebach that these documents had been produced to prior counsel and were not the subject of a confidentiality agleement or order. c. For purposes of a lawyer's ethical obligations, a document is in "when it is accidentally transmitted, such as when an e-mail or le document or electronically stored information is accidentally in was intentionally transmitted."

See Florida Ethics Opinion 07-1. b. Further, ev dvertent disclosure situations, a lawyer who believes that any privilege rela • g to le documents has been waived or is otherwise inapplicable acts in an ethically a riate manner by seeking direction from the court on those questions. See Comm u -4.4, Rules Regulating The:Florida Bar ("Whether the lawyer is required to take steps, such as returning the document or electronically stored information, is a w beyond the scope of these rules, as is the question of whether the privileged document or electronically stored information has been waived."). That is what and Ms. Rockenbach have done. c. Finally, lawyers for all parties have an ethical obligation not to knowingly use or perniit the use of improper testimonynr other evidence in a court proceeding. See Rule 4- 3.3;Rules-Regulating-Theflorida-BarrBybringing thismatter to-the court's attention, Mr. Link and Ms. Rockenbach have shown proper respect for the court and for the principles underlying Rule 4-3.3.
