Do counsel in the Office of the DPP or the Department of Justice grant markers?
No. Neither counsel in the office of the DPP nor counsel in the Department of Justice accept marker calls or provide markers to immunity applicants. Counsel will forward any marker call they receive to the Bureau. Applicants cannot rely on contact with counsel as establishing a marker. Markers are only granted by the Senior Deputy Commissioner, Criminal Matters, and the Deputy Commissioner, Fair Business Practices.
