    SUR-REPLY OF NON-PARTY MANVILLE PERSONAL INJURY SETTLEMENT

    TRUST TO DEBTORS’ MOTION FOR LEAVE TO SERVE SUBPOENA

    The Manville Trust respectfully submits this Sur-Reply to address certain

    assertions made by Debtors in their Reply in Support of Motion for Leave to Serve Subpoena on

    Manville Trust (the “Reply”) (Dkt. No. 4646).1 

    I.

    THE MANVILLE TRUST OBJECTS TO THE SUBPOENA BECAUSE IT ISOVERREACHING, NOT BECAUSE OF ANY BIAS AGAINST GARLOCK

    1.  In their Reply, Debtors assert that, as a result of its “undisclosed

    relationships” with certain law firms and individuals representing the interests of asbestos

    claimants, the Manville Trust is “treat[ing] Garlock differently” from other co-defendants by

    resisting the production of “information the Manville Trust normally provides to other co-

    defendants as a matter of policy.” Reply at 12, 17. Debtors’ assertion is simply incorrect.

    1  Unless otherwise noted, all undefined and abbreviated terms herein have the same meaning as in

    the Objection of Non-Party Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust to the Debtors’ Motion for

    Leave to Serve Subpoena (the “Manville Objection”) (Dkt. No. 4638). The factual bases for thisSur-Reply are set forth in the accompanying supplemental declaration of Jared S. Garelick

    (“Supp. Garelick Decl.”).

    2.  To start, the four (not three, as Debtors assert) Trustees of the Manville

    Trust (the “Trustees”) make all final trust decisions based on what they determine to be in the best

    interests of the Manville Trust and its beneficiaries. Debtors attempt to impugn the independence

    of the Trustees by speculating that one of them, Dr. Mark Peterson, who serves as the

    Committee’s claims expert, participated in the Manville Trust’s decision to file its objection. He

    did not. Dr. Peterson recused himself from the Manville Trust’s consideration of the Motion. See 

    Supp. Garelick Decl. ¶¶ 2-4. Debtors also assert that the Manville Trust’s institutional

    relationship with the Selected Counsel of the Beneficiaries (“SCB”), a group that includes law

    firms and attorneys representing the interests of asbestos claimants in this and/or other actions,

    swayed its decision to file its objection. See Reply at 12. Debtors’ assertion is incorrect. As a

    governance matter, the Trustees are required to, and do, consult with the SCB on matters of

    concern to the SCB’s constituents. There is nothing untoward about this. The Trustees have a

    fiduciary obligation to consider the views of Trust beneficiaries as part of their decision-making

     process. And it was the Trustees, not the SCB or its counsel, who decided to file the Manville

    Objection after independently concluding that Debtors’ Motion was overreaching. See Supp.

    Garelick Decl. ¶¶ 3-4.

    3.  Debtors’ contention that, in objecting to the Motion, the Manville Trust is

    treating them “differently” than other co-defendants also lacks any basis in fact. As demonstrated

    in the Manville Objection, the Manville Trust does not provide data extracts for tens of thousands

    of claimants in response to mass subpoenas without first negotiating limits on the scope of

    disclosure and on the use of any produced data, particularly personally identifiable claimant

    information. See Manville Objection ¶ 21. The Manville Trust has taken this approach over many

    years, in various fora, and its efforts in this regard have been successful, in part because other co-

    Case 10-31607 Doc 4660 Filed 06/16/15 Entered 06/16/15 11:11:15 Desc Main Document Page 2 of 7

    defendants, in contrast to Debtors, have been willing to craft reasonable limits on the scope of

    disclosure and on the use of information produced by the Manville Trust. See Supp. Garelick

    Decl. ¶¶ 5-6. If the Manville Trust is treating Garlock “differently,” it is only because Garlock has

    refused to limit its sweeping Subpoena or consider a protective order that would restrict its use of

    Manville Trust data extracts to claim estimation.

    II.

    DEBTORS DO NOT REQUIRE CLAIMANT IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

    TO ESTIMATE THEIR AGGREGATE NON-MESOTHELIOMA LIABILITY

    4.  In its Objection, the Manville Trust made clear that an anonymized

     production of claimant data would suffice for purposes of estimation. Manville Objection ¶¶ 40,

    53. In their Reply, Debtors insist that “the Manville Trust’s request for an anonymous production

    would render it useless, because Dr. Bates needs identifying information . . . to match the

     produced data to claimants in the Garlock Analytical Database . . . .” Reply at 3 (emphasis

    added); see also Bates Decl. ¶ 7(1) (“The claimant identifying information will be used to match 

    the Manville Trust data to specific claimants in the Garlock Analytical Database . . . . If the

    information provided does not include identifying information, such a matching exercise would

    not be possible.”) (emphasis added).

    5.  Debtors’ assertion that they require personally identifiable claimant

    information to match Garlock claimants with data for those same claimants in the Manville Trust

    database is incorrect. Debtors provide no reason why the Manville Trust – or some third party

    service vendor – could not use personally identifiable claimant data to match Garlock claimants

    with claimants in the Manville Trust’s database and then produce data for matched claimants in an

    anonymized format, with data fields such as the claimants’ names, social security numbers, home

    addresses, and the like deleted. Although the Manville Trust remains concerned that Debtors’

    “first name, last name” matching procedure would yield “false positives,” Manville Objection ¶

    33, Debtors appear sanguine that Bates White will be able to “apply advanced algorithms . . . to

    identify and remove potential false positives.” Reply at 7. If disclosed, the Manville Trust would

     be open to considering the use of these same “advanced algorithms” to provide Garlock with an

    anonymized, matched set of claimant data.

    6.  Even if they require claimant specific information for matching, Debtors

     provide no support for their assertion that they need such information to then estimate their

    liability for already matched claimants. Accordingly, if Debtors conduct the matching process

    themselves, the Court should order them, after completing that process, to (i) anonymize the

    matched data, (ii) place the anonymized data in a segregated database where it would be available

    for estimation purposes, (iii) secure the database containing claimant identifiable information and

    not place it in the public record; and (iv) delete all claimant identifiable information at the end of

    the estimation proceeding. The Hon. Robert E. Gerber endorsed such an approach in connection

    with the estimation litigation in In re Motors Liquidation Co., Ch. 11 Case No. 09-50026 (REG)

    (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Oct. 22, 2010) (Dkt. No. 7526) (Supp. Garelick Decl., Ex. A), in which Bates

    White also acted as a claims estimation expert. Such an approach would provide the parties with

    the data they require for claims estimation without prejudicing individual plaintiffs in their

    litigations against other asbestos defendants in the tort system.

    III.

    THE DISSEMINATION OF DATA FOR 91,000-PLUS

    CLAIMANTS WOULD OFFEND THEIR PRIVACY INTERESTS

    AND IMPAIR THE VALUE OF THE MANVILLE TRUST’S DATABASE

    7.  The Manville Trust demonstrated that, when it discloses data on the scale

    called for by the Subpoena, it does so subject to strict confidentiality and use limitations described

    Case 10-31607 Doc 4660 Filed 06/16/15 Entered 06/16/15 11:11:15 Desc Main Document Page 4 of 7

    in its form of License Agreement. Manville Objection ¶¶ 22-25, 55. Debtors respond that the

    Manville Trust’s concerns about the unrestricted use and disclosure of extracts from its database

    are unwarranted because the “Manville Trust ‘generally releases’ all the data . . . to asbestos

    defendants who subpoena it. . . .” Reply at 3-4; id. at 17 n.10. Debtors ignore the stark

    distinctions between the Manville Trust’s approach to responding to “one-off” subpoenas in

    individual litigations and its approach to responding to subpoenas in mass litigation, see Manville

    Objection ¶ 19, as well as the reasons why such distinct approaches are appropriate.

    8.  From the perspective of individual claimants, there is an important

    distinction between the Manville Trust’s producing claim information in response to one-off

    subpoenas and producing a computerized, easily searchable data extract containing scores of

    thousands of claim files. As the Supreme Court has recognized,

    [B]oth the common law and the literal understandings of privacy

    encompass the individual’s control of information concerning his or

    her person. In an organized society, there are few facts that are notat one time or another divulged to another. Thus the extent of the

     protection accorded a privacy right at common law rested in part onthe degree of dissemination of the allegedly private fact and the

    extent to which the passage of time rendered it private . . . . [T]he

    issue here is whether the compilation of otherwise hard-to-obtaininformation alters the privacy interest implicated by disclosure of

    that information. Plainly there is a vast difference between the

     public records that might be found after a diligent search of

    courthouse files, county archives, and local police stationsthroughout the country and a computerized summary located in a

    single clearinghouse of information.

    U.S. Dep’t of Justice v. Reporters Comm. for Freedom of the Press, 489 U.S. 749, 763-64 (1989).

    9. 

    This distinction is equally important from the perspective of the Manville

    Trust, which regards the data it has compiled and maintained, at its own expense, as a

    commercially valuable asset. See Supp. Garelick Decl. ¶ 5. So do Debtors. See Reporters

    Comm., 489 U.S. at 764 (noting that if the information sought “were ‘freely available,’ there

    6

    would be no reason” for the party to seek disclosure of the compiled files). Although, from time

    to time, the Manville Trust licenses access to extracts from its database in exchange for a licensing

    fee, it imposes strict confidentiality and use limits on such extracts (including on the disclosure of

     personally identifiable claimant information), both out of deference to claimant privacy concerns

    and to safeguard the value of the database. Unaccompanied by such restrictions, the compelled

     production of data for 91,000-plus individuals – approximately 10 percent of the claim files

    maintained by the Manville Trust – could materially diminish the value of the database as a trust

    asset while conferring a windfall on claims estimation experts, who would obtain unrestricted

    access to a sizeable volume of Manville Trust data free of charge. See Supp. Garelick Decl. ¶ 8.

    CONCLUSION

    10.  For the foregoing reasons and those set forth in the Manville Objection, the

    Manville Trust respectfully requests that this Court deny the Motion, without prejudice to

    Debtors’ applying for leave to issue a modified subpoena that:

    a.  requires the production of data and documents for a random sample of no

    more than 10% of the relevant Manville Trust claimants;

     b.  excludes from disclosure information irrelevant to estimation or Plan

    feasibility, including personally identifiable information, Manville Trustsettlement offers and information about claimants’ non-asbestos-related

    medical conditions;

    c.   permits the Manville Trust to produce data and documents in an

    anonymized format or, alternatively, bars Debtors from sharing personallyidentifiable claimant information with third-parties or disclosing such

    information in any court filing or other public disclosure; and

    d.  requires Debtors to compensate the Manville Trust for all costs it incurs in

    connection with complying with the modified subpoena, including the costof redacting personally identifiable information from all medical and other

    records produced by the Manville Trust.

    SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION OF JARED S. GARELICK

    JARED S. GARELICK, under penalty of perjury, declares:

    1.  I am the General Counsel of non-party Manville Personal Injury

    Settlement Trust (the “Manville Trust”). I make this declaration to supplement my original

    declaration, executed on June 3, 2015, which was filed in support of the objection (the

    “Objection”) of the Manville Trust to the Motion of the Debtors for Leave to Serve Subpoena on

    Manville Trust (Docket No. 4599), in support of the Sur-Reply of the Manville Trust to Debtors’

    Motion for Leave to Serve Subpoena (the “Sur-Reply”), and to make part of the record an

    additional document referenced in the Manville Trust’s Sur-Reply. I am fully familiar with the

    facts set forth herein.

    2. 

    A Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”), presently comprised of four

    members, makes all final decisions on behalf of the Manville Trust, including with respect to the

     positions the Manville Trust will take in responding to subpoenas issued in connection with mass

    3078476.1 

    litigations that call for the production of claims data extracts and related files for tens of

    thousands of Manville Trust claimants.

    3.  The Trustees make such determinations based on what they determine to

     be in the best interests of the Manville Trust and its beneficiaries. As a governance matter, the

    Trustees routinely consult with the Selected Counsel of the Beneficiaries (“SCB”), a group that

    includes law firms and attorneys representing the interests of asbestos claimants in the above-

    captioned action and/or other actions. Although the Trustees are required to consult with the

    SCB, they have a fiduciary obligation to consider the views of all Trust beneficiaries as part of

    their independent decision-making process. Ultimately, the Trustees, not the SCB or its counsel,

    are responsible for making decisions on behalf of the Manville Trust.

    4.  In this action, the Trustees, not the SCB or its counsel, determined that the

    Manville Trust should file its Objection after independently concluding that doing so was in the

     best interests of the Manville Trust and its beneficiaries. Because one of the Trustees, Dr. Mark

    Peterson, serves as an expert for the Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants

    in these proceedings, he recused himself from, and did not participate in, the Trustees’ decision

    to file the Objection.

    5.  I understand that Debtors assert that, in filing its Objection, the Manville

    Trust is treating them “differently” than other co-defendants. Debtors’ assertion is incorrect.

    When it receives mass subpoenas seeking data extracts for tens of thousands of claimants, the

    Manville Trust has historically succeeded in negotiating strict limits on the scope of disclosure

    and on the use of any produced data, particularly personally identifiable claimant information.

    The Manville Trust has insisted on such restrictions both to protect the privacy interests of

    Manville Trust claimants and to safeguard the value of its database, which the Manville Trust has

    compiled and maintained at its own expense, as a trust asset.

    6.  The Manville Trust has successfully taken this approach over many years,

    in various fora, and it has been aided in its efforts by the willingness of the parties seeking

    disclosure to craft reasonable limits on the scope of the Manville Trust’s productions and on the

    use and disclosure of information produced by the Manville Trust.

    7.  Courts have also been receptive to requiring asbestos defendants to use

    anonymized claimant data when estimating their liabilities. For example, in In re Motors

     Liquidation Co., Ch. 11 Case No. 09-50026 (REG) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Oct. 22, 2010) (Dkt. No.

    7526), the Hon. Robert E. Gerber required the creation of an anonymized claims database to be

    used for estimation purposes. A true and correct copy of Judge Gerber’s Order Concerning

    ACC’s Request for an Anonymity Protocol is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

    8.  I understand that Debtors seek to compel the Manville Trust to disclose

    claims data for 91,000-plus Manville claimants – approximately 10 percent of the claims files

    maintained by the Manville Trust – free of most use and disclosure restrictions and without

    anonymizing such data. Producing such information in the format sought by Debtors, and

    subject to the permissive protective order urged by Debtors, could materially diminish the value

    of the database as a trust asset while conferring a windfall on claims estimation experts, who

    would obtain unrestricted access to a sizeable volume of Manville Trust data free of charge.

    9. 

    I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

    ORDER CONCERNING ACC’S REQUESTFOR AN ANONYMITY PROTOCOL

    On August 24, 2010, the Court entered an Order (the “UCC 2004 Order”) [Dkt.

     No. 6749], pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2004, granting the Motion (the “UCC 2004 Motion”)

    [Dkt. No. 6383] of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation

    Company (the “Creditors’ Committee”) for an Order authorizing the Creditors’ Committee,

    among other things, to obtain certain discovery from (i) the Delaware Claims Processing Facility

    and Claims Resolution Management Corporation (the “Claims Processing Facilities”) and

    (ii) the Armstrong World Industries, Inc., Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust, the

    Babcock & Wilcox Company Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust, the Owens

    the United States Gypsum Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust and the Manville Personal

    Injury Settlement Trust (collectively, the “Trusts”).

    The UCC 2004 Order required, before service of the Subpoenas1 by the Creditors’

    Committee of Unsecured Creditors Holding Asbestos-Related Claims (the “ACC”), to attempt to

    reach agreement on the terms of a protocol (an “Anonymity Protocol”) that would enable the

    Creditors’ Committee to obtain the information it seeks from the Claims Processing Facilities

    and/or the Trusts in a form that maintains the anonymity of the claimants whose data is

     produced, while at the same time enabling the Creditors’ Committee and other parties to a

     potential contested estimation hearing in these cases to make use of such information in the

    manner described in the UCC 2004 Motion and at the August 9, 2010 hearing on the UCC 2004

    Motion.

    The UCC 2004 Order provided that any party was authorized to notify the Court

    in the event an Anonymity Protocol had been proposed and, in the party’s view, the Creditors’

    Committee had unreasonably refused to agree to its terms, and, in the event of such notification,

    the Creditors’ Committee was not to issue any subpoenas to the Claims Processing Facilities or

    Trusts pending further direction from the Court.

    On September 14, 2010, the ACC filed a notice with the Court in which it

    asserted that the Creditors’ Committee had unreasonably refused to agree to the terms of its

     proposed Anonymity Protocol, and the parties subsequently filed written submissions with the

    Court regarding that proposed Anonymity Protocol.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Court having reviewed and considered the various

    submissions of the parties regarding the ACC’s proposed Anonymity Protocol and the record at

    the hearing of October 21, 2010, and the Court having found that it has jurisdiction over this

    matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334, that this is a core proceeding pursuant to 28

    U.S.C. § 157(b)(2), and that notice of the briefing schedule and hearing on an Anonymity

    claimant-by-claimant basis, with data from General Motors LLC or other sources, (ii) verifying

    the accuracy of other Experts’ matching of such data, and (iii) defending challenges to the

    may be agreed upon by the parties to the asbestos estimation proceeding in this case (namely, the

    ACC, the FCR, the Debtors and the UCC), the Trusts, and the Claims Processing Facilities.

    a. A defined period of time shall be provided for matching and

    combining the data as described in paragraph 3 above (the “Matching Period”), as follows:

    (i) Within 2 weeks of the production of the Trust Information,

    the Experts shall exchange (a) a list of claimants (identified by

    their unique identifiers within the data produced by GM, but not

    name or Social Security Number) that each Expert believes is the

    unique set of Mesothelioma Claimants, and (b) for each unique

    claimant, a list of the Trusts’ records to which the Expert believes

    the claimant matches.

    (ii) Following the exchange of such lists, the Experts and

    counsel to the parties shall make a good faith effort to reconcile

    their views concerning the exchanged lists. As part of these

    efforts, each Expert shall promptly provide the other Experts and

    counsel to the parties with any additional data relied upon for his

    or her position with respect to any disagreement concerning the

    exchanged lists.

    (iii) By no later than 4 weeks after the production of the Trust

    Information, the Experts shall collectively determine the extent of

    their agreement and disagreement on these lists.

    (iv) Within 6 weeks of the production of the Trust Information,

    the Experts will exchange reports.

     b. The results of each Expert’s matching (the “Matched Data”) shall

     be isolated from the original sources from which they are derived and may be preserved only in a

    new, discrete database. At the conclusion of the Matching Period, each Expert may assign a

    unique numeric identifier to each claimant included in his or her Matched Data and create a

    separate file (a “Linked IDs File”) that will link these identifiers to the identifiers of each dataset

    that was incorporated into the Matched Data. Subsequently, each Expert shall delete the

    following fields from the Matched Data:

    Claimant name, SSN, address, phone, fax, email;

    Personal Representative name, SSN, address, phone, fax, email;

    Occupationally exposed person name, SSN, address, phone, fax, email;Other exposed person name, SSN, address, phone, fax, email;

    Exposure affiant name;Dependent name;

    Dependent date of birth (except year for each dependent);

    Lawsuit case numbers (except jurisdiction); andThe identifiers of each dataset that was incorporated into Matched Data.

    The databases that have been subjected to these required deletions are referred to below as the

    “Anonymized Databases.”

    c. Immediately after the creation of the Anonymized Databases, each

    Expert shall remove the Trust Information and the Linked IDs File, and all excerpts thereof (but

    not the Anonymized Databases), from his or her firm’s computer network, put such data on an

    external storage device, and keep it in a secured location. Thereafter, each Expert shall use such

    data only for Permitted Matching Purposes. Except to the extent necessary for Permitted

    Matching Purposes, each Expert (a) shall not in any way, directly or indirectly, retain, copy, link ,

    reflect,  or use the Trust Information or the Linked IDs File, or use any portion or element

    thereof, in any database, report, document, or statement other than in the Anonymized Databases,

    and (b) shall not retain any record of any kind linking any unique identifier used in an

    Anonymized Database to any information outside the Anonymized Database.

    d. Pursuant to section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, none of the

    Trust Information, Matched Data, Linked IDs Files, or the Anonymized Databases shall be

    subject to subpoena or otherwise discoverable by any person or entity other than the Debtor, the

    Creditors’ Committee, the ACC, and the FCR.

    e. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trust Information, any Matched

    Data, any Linked IDs Files, and any Anonymized Database shall be Confidential Estimation-

    Related Information for purposes of the Confidentiality Agreement and Protective Order entered

    in the above-captioned cases on or about August 24, 2010.

    f. No claimant-specific data from, or derived from, the Trust

    Information shall be (i) placed on the public record, or (ii) filed with the Bankruptcy Court, the

    District Court, or any reviewing court, except under seal.

    g. At the conclusion of the estimation litigation in this case, each

    Expert shall destroy the Trust Information and the Linked IDs File, and all excerpts thereof,

    without in any way retaining, preserving, or copying the Trust Information or the Linked IDs

    File. In addition, the provisions of paragraph 18 of the Confidentiality Agreement and Protective

    Order of August 24, 2010 shall apply, without limitation.

    4. Nothing in this Order shall constitute a waiver by the ACC, the FCR, the

    Trusts, or the Claims Processing Facilities of any objection previously asserted with respect to

    the UCC 2004 Motion.
