ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court for the review of various assertions of privilege by
Defendant pursuant to an agreed process in which the Parties will each submit 100 disputed
Privilege Log entries to the Court. See Doc. No. 149. Of the 100 entries selected by Plaintiffs for
the Court’s review, Defendant maintained its original privilege designation over 43 documents,
revised its privilege designation over 7 documents, and withdrew its privilege claim over 50
documents. The Court has carefully considered these claims of privilege and, with a single
exception, (Privilege Log entry 8802), upholds the claims of privilege and denies Plaintiff’s
objections. The details of the Court’s review are attached in Exhibit 1. Also, as with its earlier
review, it appears that it would be unlikely that the substance of the documents being withheld
would have any material impact on the litigation even if they had been required to be produced.
SO ORDERED ADJUDGED AND DECREED.
