ORDER

AND NOW, this 28th of June, 2018, upon consideration of Brand’s motion to produce
44,487 unique forensic files (Doc. 324), the response (Doc. 328), the in camera review of 25
files, Irex’s contention that the bulk of the files on the recently-produced images were duplicates
contained on images previously produced, and Irex’s vendor’s subsequent identification of
10,054 duplicate files (Doc. 341), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that by July 8, 2018, Irex shall
allow Brand access to the 2,070 emails and user-generated files it contends are duplicates of
previously provided files. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that by July 8, 2018, Irex shall
individually review each of the 1,014 unique email and user-generated files identified by its
forensic vendor and produce to Brand any file that is not privileged, irrelevant, or confidential,
and shall provide Brand and the court with a designation sheet, identifying each file withheld,
including a proper designation for each file that is not produced. The court will select 25 of the
withheld files for in camera review and determine whether a full production is required based on
that review.
