ORDER RE IN CAMERA REVIEW OF
ADDITIONAL REDACTED
DOCUMENTS

This Order relates to the Underwriters’ privilege waiver issue identified in the Court’s

13

previous Order at Dkt. 483. The Court has concluded its in camera review of the fifteen

14

documents selected by Plaintiff’s counsel (“Reviewed Documents”). As forewarned by the

15

Underwriters, some of the Reviewed Documents reflect the same email chain with identical

16

redactions. Accordingly, the Court will review an additional 15 documents which contain unique

17

redactions. As before, Plaintiffs will select the documents. The next step will be for the

18

Defendants to inform Plaintiffs of any duplicates (same email chain; same redactions), in which

19

case Plaintiffs may select alternate documents. The Parties are to work diligently to complete this

20

process and submit the documents to the Court in the same manner and format as before no later

21

than February 4, 2025.
