Case No. 13-cv-01300-JSW (MEJ)

ORDER FOR PLAINTIFFS TO LODGE 

WITHHELD DOCUMENTS FOR IN 

CAMERA REVIEW; ORDER FOR 

PLAINTIFFS TO FILE 

DECLARATION(S)

Re: Dkt. No. 287

Having reviewed the parties’ joint discovery dispute letter concerning 258 emails John 

Austermann sent to himself, which Plaintiffs have withheld from production based on claims of 

attorney-client privilege and/or work-product protection, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff to submit 

(not file) unredacted copies of the documents to the undersigned’s chambers for in camera review 

by January 11, 2016. Further, for each document, Plaintiffs shall e-file (no chambers copy is 

required) a declaration from each attorney referenced in their privilege log attesting that (1) Mr. 

Austermann sought legal advice from him in his capacity as a professional legal adviser; (2) the 

document contains confidential communications from the attorney to Mr. Austermann relating to 

that purpose; and (3) either (a) the entire document contains privileged material and should not be 

produced even in redacted form, or (b) only certain portions of the document contain privileged 

material. If only certain portions of the documents should be redacted, the declaration(s) shall 

specify those sections by line number or other means. The declaration(s) must be specific as to 

each document; a general declaration will not suffice. The declaration(s) shall be filed by January 

11, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 4, 2016
