UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Samuel J. Bourne
v.

Civil No. 10-cv-393-LM

John R. Arruda, Jr., et al.

O R D E R
Before the court is Bourne’s motion to compel (doc. no.
142), which seeks an order compelling Robert King, a third
party, to produce additional documents and information in
response to a subpoena served upon him by Bourne.

King served

Bourne with an objection to the subpoena and, thereafter,
produced a set of emails to Bourne that he considers to be
responsive and not privileged, along with a privilege log
listing additional documents as subject to attorney client
privilege and/or work product protection.

The documents

produced to Bourne, as to which no claim of privilege is
asserted, include several emails with portions of the contents
blocked out, specifically, those emails included within
documents identified as RDK007 and RDK008.

King’s objection to

the motion to compel (doc. no. 146) states that the redacted
portions include text that is “unrelated to the defamation in
question or the instant court case.”

The court finds that to facilitate its consideration of the
motion to compel, King must submit for in camera review, within
ten (10) days of the date of this order, complete paper copies
of the documents identified as RDK007-RDK008, without redacting
the contents that King claims to be irrelevant.

The clerk is

directed to file the documents upon receipt as sealed at Level
II, subject to further order of this court, pursuant to Local
Rule 83.11.
SO ORDERED.
