No. CV-06-2482-PHX-SMM

ORDER

In accordance with the Scheduling Order in this case (Dkt. 66), Plaintiffs contacted

the Court to request a telephonic discovery dispute conference. Plaintiffs notified the

Court that the parties have reached an impasse regarding certain discovery requests and

the second version of Defendants’ privilege log. According to Plaintiffs, Defendants 

assert that requested materials are not discoverable on account of attorney-client privilege

and work product protection. Plaintiffs contend that the issues in this case involve

attorney conduct, and therefore Defendants’ assertion of privilege and work product are

in error.

The Court finds that this dispute is best resolved by having the parties file written

materials setting forth their respective positions. Therefore the Court will order the

parties to submit memoranda of law, not to exceed eight (8) pages, articulating why the

Court should or should not require production of the materials Defendant has deemed

privileged or otherwise not discoverable in their privilege log. The Court will notify the

parties if additional briefing or oral argument (including a telephonic conference) is

needed. If the Court orders production of materials currently withheld, the Scheduling

Order may be modified to accommodate such production. Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties shall submit to the Court written

memoranda of law regarding their respective positions on the instant discovery dispute. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that these memoranda shall not exceed eight (8)

pages, and shall be filed by Thursday, July 3, 2008.

DATED this 26th day of June, 2008.
