Production shall take place within 90 days as discussed at the conference, with documents produced on a rolling basis. Although the parties indicated in their statement that there may be a dispute as to the number of targeted searches that had been served that may require the Court to rule on how many targeted searches had been propounded, the parties stated at the conference that there was no issue regarding the number of targeted searches that had been served. The parties shall continue to meet and confer regarding the time range for discovery.

Defendants shall also unredact the language at the last bullet point under paragraph 3(a) on SAP-OR00208089.

See United States v. Chevron Texaco Corp., 241 F. Supp. 2d 1065, 1077, 1080 (N.D. Cal. 2002) ("Therefore, internal communications [between nonlawyers] that reflect matters about which the client intends to seek legal advice are protected.").
