Other: Having elected not to appeal the February 11 Order of this Court that
is subject of the present Motion, the Defendant is not entitled to the relief it
seeks under Rules 59 or 60 of the Federal Rules. However, after reviewing in
camera the documents sought to be withheld by Defendant, the Court finds
that certain of those documents are facially attorney-client communications
and, as such, their production to Plaintiff, notwithstanding Defendant’s
inadequate efforts to protect them, would unfairly prejudice Defendant.
Accordingly, under Rule 54(b), the Court hereby revises its February 11
Order as follows. The documents identified on Defendant’s privilege log
(Rec. doc. 194-3) are to be produced to Plaintiff no later than April 8, 2015,
with the exception of the documents bearing the following bates numbers,
which need not be produced:
000138-000153, 000253-000254, 000293, 000305-000308, 000344000345, 000346-000347, 000350-000351, 000352, 000545-000546,
000547-000548, 000560-000562, 000569-000585, 000586-000613,
