from defendants’ revised privilege logs. Review of the joint statement also demonstrates that

plaintiffs and defendants have not complied with the requirements of the court’s January 30,

2008 order in that they have not had a full and complete meeting and conference concerning

those disputes. Accordingly, the court will by this order set a specific time frame for

completion of that process with respect to all disputes arising from all claims of privilege

with the exception of the deliberative process privilege, and for tendering to this court any

disputes that survive completion of the process set forth in this order. Resolution of the

disputes over defendants’ assertion of the deliberative process privilege will be deferred until

further order of court.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiffs and defendants shall meet and confer in person concerning all

remaining disputes over all assertions of privilege in defendants’ revised privilege logs with

the exception of the deliberative process privilege;

2. Said meet and confer session shall take place on or before March 6, 2008;

3. On or before 4:30 p.m. on March 7, 2008, plaintiffs and defendants shall file

a list of all documents as to which claims of privilege remain in dispute together with, as

appropriate, any supplemental briefing relevant to any remaining disputes;

4. The court will hear argument concerning the documents in the list filed

pursuant to paragraph 3 of this order on Wednesday, March 12, 2008, at 11:00 a.m. in

Courtroom # 26.

5. Resolution of the disputes over defendants’ assertion of the deliberative

process privilege is deferred until further order of court.

DATED: February 26, 2008.
