provided notice, by correspondence dated July 17, 2012, that they may seek to introduce into 

evidence at the hearing of this matter certain documents, data, and deposition testimony of

those materials or documents for which SIGMA will seek in camera treatment but that additional 

time is necessary to complete that process and prepare a motion making the requisite showing
