GOODWIN PROCTER LLP Three Embarcadero Center, 24th Floor San Francisco, California 94111 Michael T. Jones, Esq. GOODWIN PROCTER LLP 135 Commonwealth Drive Menlo Park, California 94025-1105 RE: LegalZoom.com, Inc. vs. Rocket Lawyer Incorporated -Proposed Custodians and Search Terms Dear Ms. Vu, et ol.: We are in receipt of your November 25, 2013 letter regarding LegalZoom.com, Inc.'s ("Le~alZoom") proposed custodians and search terms for Le~alZoom's production in response to Rocket Lawyer tncorporated's ("Rocket Lawyer") Requests for Production of Documents Set One and Set Two ("Rocket Lawyer's Requests for Documents"). LegalZoom's Proposed Custodians and Search Terms As a preliminary matter, based upon our examination of Rocket Lawyer's Requests for Documents, we believe our proposed custodians and search terms are adequate given the scope of the claims and defenses of the parties. However, to further expedite the discovery process and to resolve our discovery issues outside the Court, we are amenable to adding Chas Rampenthal, Patty Chikama~alur, Chyna Smith, Frank Monestere, Jeremy Vernassal, and Peter Prucnel to LegalZoom's custodians list. In your letter, you inquired as to Le~alZoom's April 1, 2010 "cut-off" date. Please be advised that LegalZoom converted to a new document management system on or about April 1, 2010. As a result, LegalZoom's PST archives date back only to April 1, 2010. LegalZoom's PST files dated prior to this date are largely inaccessible and/or are accessible only with undue burden and cost to LegalZoom. T. Z MERITAS LAW FIRMS WORLDWIDE 841023.2 EXHIBIT 10-44- Hong-An Vu, Esq. Michael T. Jones, Esq. December 18, 2013 Page 2 Rocket Lawyer's Proposed Custodians and Search Terms In your letter, you indicated that Rocket Lawyer intends to reduce its custodian list by removing Jared Colli, Rocket Lawyer's Product Marketing Manager, and Lisa Honey, Rocket Lawyer's Business Lead. You contended that the removed individuals are direct reports to managers already on Rocket Lawyer's custodian list and/or have only been at Rocket Lawyer for a brief period of time, and that responsive documents will be adequately captured in the collection, search and review of documents in possession of managers included in Rocket Lawyer's custodian list. However, LegalZoom does not agree to the removal of these custodians. Neither the fact that they have been employed for a short period of time nor the fact that their managers are already identified as custodians provides compelling justification for removing them as possible custodians. With regard to Rocket Lawyer's proposed search terms, while you contend that Rocket Lawyer's proposed search terms are sufficient and that you "will continue to investigate and test [LegalZoom's] proposed terms" and "will let [us] know whether [you] are willing to add any [of LegalZoom's requested search terms]," LegalZoom requests that you agree to add to Rocket Lawyer's existing list, the following terms, which are likely to yield documents responsive to LegalZoom's First and Second Sets of Requests for Production of Documents that you have indicated you will provide: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19.
