ORDER

This matter is pending before the court on a dispute over claims of privilege raised in

privilege logs served on June 10, 2008 and August 5, 2008. In connection with the present

dispute, on August 19, 2008 defendants produced documents to the court for in camera

review. It appears that documents which are not at issue in the present dispute were included

in that production. Those documents are as follows: 1

176, 196-200, 202, 206-207, 212-213, 218, 245, and 328.

2. Four documents which are subject to claims of attorney-client privilege and

work product protection: Log entry numbers 208-211. 

3. One document for which a claim of privacy has been made: Log entry

number 92.

4. Forty-one documents which are subject to claims of attorney-client privilege

and deliberative process privilege: Log entry numbers 7-8, 12-13, 114-118, 172, 193-194,

201, 203-205, 214, 225-227, 320-321, 326-327, 329-334, 337-340, 349-350, 357-358, 362,

368, 370, and 377.

5. Four documents which are subject to claims of attorney-client privilege,

deliberative process privilege, and work product protection: Log entry numbers 9, 191-192,

and 244.

Good cause appearing, the parties will be directed to file a joint statement indicating

whether or not the claim(s) of privilege for the documents listed in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3,

supra, are in dispute and, if so, where the dispute appears in the record. In addition, the

parties shall indicate whether or not the claims of attorney-client privilege or work product

protection for the documents listed in paragraphs 4 and 5, supra, are in dispute and, if so,

where the dispute appears in the record. 

Finally, at a telephone conference on August 21, 2008, the parties jointly represented

that there are ten documents listed in the August 5, 2008 privilege log for which a dispute

over claims of attorney-client privilege remain. The parties identified those as the documents

identified by log entry numbers 4, 171, 187-190, 195, and 364-366. Five of those documents,

log entry numbers 187-190 and 195, are subject to claims of work product protection in

addition to claims of attorney-client privilege and, with the exception of log entry number

195, deliberative process privilege. In the joint statement, the parties shall indicate whether
