SUPPLEMENTAL RULING FOLLOWING IN CAMERA REVIEW
Familiarity is presumed with this Magistrate Judge's Ruling on Defendant's Motion to
Compel, filed February 10, 2015 (Dkt. #138), in which this Magistrate Judge ordered an in
camera review of the "handful of documents" to which plaintiffs asserted a privilege (at 8),
as well the Ruling Following In Camera Review, filed February 26, 2015 (Dkt. #146), which
held that the redacted portions were all protected from disclosure.
On May 7, 2015, plaintiff submitted six additional pages to the Magistrate Judge's
Chambers. After a careful review of these six pages, the Magistrate Judge agrees that the
redacted portions are all protected from disclosure, under either the attorney-client privilege
or the work product doctrine.
This is not a Recommended Ruling, but a ruling on a non-dispositive motion, the
standard of review of which is specified in 28 U.S.C. § 636; FED. R. CIV. P. 6(a), 6(e) & 72;
and Rule 72.2 of the Local Rules for United States Magistrate Judges. As such, it is an order
of the Court unless reversed or modified by the District Judge upon timely made objection.
See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(written objections to ruling must be filed within
fourteen calendar days after service of same); FED. R. CIV. P. 6(a), 6(e) & 72; Rule
72.2 of the Local Rules for United States Magistrate Judges, United States District Court for
the District of Connecticut; Small v. Secretary, H&HS, 892 F.2d. 15, 16 (2d Cir. 1989)(failure

to file timely objection to Magistrate Judge’s recommended ruling may preclude further
appeal to Second Circuit).
Dated at New Haven, Connecticut, this 8th day of May, 2015.
