ORDER

The Court held a telephone conference on 14 June 2012 to resolve the
issues raised in the parties' joint report and request for discovery ruling,
Document No. 125. The Court ruled orally at the end of the conference. Here

are the particulars.
Southwestern Energy will meet its proposed June and July dates for
rolling production, with full production by 9 July 2012.

Plaintiffs will

immediately prioritize the needed production; and Southwestern Energy will
follow these priorities in producing materials. By agreement, production is

limited (at this point) to materials about wells within a one-mile radius of
Plaintiffs' properties. The parties will confer as soon as possible and do their
best to agree to a protocol for electronic discovery. The protocol should make
production of email both adequate for Plaintiffs and manageable for
Southwestern Energy. Joint report to the Court on electronic discovery due
by 19 June 2012. The Amended Final Scheduling Order's deadlines about
experts (on the class issues and the named Plaintiffs' claims) are revised:
• Plaintiffs' Expert Disclosures

with Reports ......................... 17 August 2012

• Defendants' Expert Disclosures

with Reports ......................... 14 September 2012

• Rebuttal Expert Disclosures

with Reports ......................... 28 September 2012

So Ordered.
