Re: Congregation Rabbinical College ofTartikov, Inc. et al v. Village of Pomona, NY et al,
7:20-cv-06158-KMK
Dear Judge Karas:
Our office represents the Defendants Village of Pomona and its Board of Trustees
(collectively, "Village") in the above-captioned action. Pursuant to Rule 9.A of this Court's
Individual Rules and Practices in Civil Cases, the Village respectfully requests permission to file
in redacted form its Exhibit "A" to the Declaration of Brian D. Nugent in support of the Village's
motion for attorney's fees and costs, which consists of attorney billing records.
The Village has redacted material consisting of attorney-client privileged and/or
protected attorney work product descriptions of our work. The attorney narratives within Exhibit
A contain privileged and protected material reflecting descriptions of counsel's litigation strategy
and communications with clients. The Details of the services rendered by attorneys for their
clients is protected. See Elliott Assocs., L.P. v. Republic of Peru, 176 F.R.D. 93, 97 (S.D.N.Y.
1997). Likewise, "[C]orrespondence, bills, ledgers, statements, and time records which also
reveal the motive of the client in seeking representation, litigation strategy, or the specific nature
of a service provided . . . fall within the attorney-client privilege." Bank Brussels Lambertv.
Credit Lyonnais (Suisse) SA., 1995 WL 598971, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 11, 1995). Accordingly,
Pursuant to Rule 9 .A, the Village is electronically filing under seal a copy of the unredacted
materials with the proposed redactions highlighted.
Granted.
