ORDER TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTS
FOR IN CAMERA REVIEW

v.
FEDERAL BUREAU OF
INVESTIGATION,

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Defendant.

13

The FBI asserts that attorney-client privilege applies to redacted portions of Human Source

14

Advisory Notices. At this juncture, there remain questions about whether some of the FBI’s

15

redactions properly protect communications protected by attorney-client privilege. Out of an

16

abundance of caution, in camera review of those documents is appropriate to resolve the FBI’s

17

motion for summary judgment. Thus, the FBI shall provide the court the unredacted Human

18

Source Advisory Notices within seven (7) days of this order.

19

IT IS SO ORDERED.
