Chevron Corporation v. Donziger et al

Filing 905

OPINION: PB shall produce documents responsive to the following specifications, as modified by the November 2012 Order: 2, 14, 18, 19, 21, 22, 26, 28 through 32, 35, 49, and 55 though 58 and, in addition, specification 20 insofar as it seeks document s described in the margin. To the extent PB claims that any documents responsive to these requests are protected by the attorney-client privilege or the protection afforded to "opinion" work product, such claims shall be asserted in conform ity with S.D.N.Y. Local Civil Rule 26.2. To the extent PB claims that any documents responsive to these requests constitute fact work product, Chevron has overcome its burden, and PB must produce them. Production both of documents and the privilege log shall take place on a rolling basis commencing no later than March 28, 2013, with continuing production of each to occur no less than weekly.The Court recognizes that there is some uncertainty in present circumstances as to how quickly compliance reasonably can be achieved. For the present, the complete privilege log shall be due and production of all responsive documents not scheduled on the privilege log shall be completed on or before May 1, 2013. While the Court will consider a well supported request for additional time, any motion for an extension of the May 1 date shall made no later than April 14, 2013. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 3/15/2013) (mro)
