ORDER  

This matter was originally set as a hearing on claimed privileges. However, at the outset of
the hearing, counsel for all parties jointly requested that the hearing be converted to a conference
as more particularly described in Section 6(F)(4) of the [83] Case Management Order.
During the course of the conference, the court sua sponte, ordered that the defendant revise
its privilege log, forthwith, in accordance with the court's directions concerning the need for greater
specificity and accurate descriptions of all documents.
The court further ruled that the privilege log may not be further amended to add privileges
except as may be necessary regarding documents not previously described in the privilege log but
which were submitted to the court in camera.
SO ORDERED this, the 7th day of November, 2017.
