ORDER RE: IN CAMERA REVIEW

Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge.
In accordance with this Court’s January 3, 2013 order [docket #121] granting in part and
denying in part the Petitioners’ Motion to Compel Chevron Corporation and Bjorn Bjorkman to
Produce Documents [docket #106], the Respondents Bjorn Bjorkman and Chevron Corporation
provided to the Court copies of all documents listed on Respondents’ Fifth Revised Privilege Log
on January 10, 2013. The Court has reviewed the documents and, despite the assistance of the
appendices and the Respondents’ explanations, concludes that it requires translation to English of
those documents written in Spanish, to determine whether they are privileged and properly withheld
in accordance with this Court’s previous orders. Therefore, on or before March 18, 2013, the
Respondents shall provide English translations of all documents written in Spanish and provided to
this Court for in camera review.

Dated and entered at Denver, Colorado, this 4th day of March, 2013.
