COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT(S): NONE APPEARING
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
At the October 16, 2012, case management conference in this matter, this Court ordered
plaintiff’s counsel to obtain one of the charging party’s medical records and to do as follows: (1)
review the medical records; (2) prepare a privilege log with an explanation of the EEOC’s statement
of claims; and (3) submit to the Court for in camera review redacted and unredacted copies of
medical records. On November 15, 2012, plaintiff’s counsel submitted these materials to chambers.
The Court has thoroughly reviewed all of the redacted and unredacted documents and has
also reviewed plaintiff’s privilege log. Specifically, the Court reviewed Exhibits 44 through 57, but
notes that Exhibits 45 and 58 were not included in either binder. The Court also reviewed Exhibits
100 through 155, but notes that there is no Exhibit 125. Having conducted its review, the Court
finds that the redactions of these exhibits are proper as more fully described in the plaintiff’s
privilege log.
IT IS ORDERED that the redacted exhibits shall be provided to defendant’s counsel.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the EEOC shall have to and including Friday, December
14, 2012 to pick up from the Court the documents submitted in camera or the copies will be
destroyed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
