AMENDED STATEMENT OF DEFENDANT SIDLEY AUSTIN LLP RELATING TO THE JOINT REPORT ON 

ESI DISCOVERY ISSUES

To assist the Court in reviewing the parties’ Joint Report on ESI Discovery Issues [Dkt. 

No. 263], attached as Exhibit 1 is Defendant Sidley Austin LLP’s (“Sidley”) most recent search 

proposal to Plaintiffs regarding search terms and custodians. As explained in Sidley’s part of the 

Joint Report, this proposal includes 18 custodians and 26 search terms that are meant to identify 

additional emails that are responsive to the Court’s February 21 protective order. Sidley 

submitted this proposal to Plaintiffs on August 25, 2017. Although Plaintiffs attached Sidley’s 

initial (and later superseded) search proposal as an exhibit to the Joint Report, Sidley now 

respectfully submits its most recent proposal to ensure that the Court has a complete record.
