Cureton U.S. Magistrate Judge United States District Court Northern District of Texas 501 W. 10th Street Room 520 Fort Worth, Texas 76102-3673 Re: American Airlines, Inc. v. Travelport Ltd., et al., No. 4:11-CV-244-Y (N.D. Tex.) Dear Judge Cureton: I write on behalf of Plaintiff American Airlines, Inc. (“American”) with respect to its Motion to Compel Production of Documents Wrongfully Withheld under the Guise of Privilege by the Travelport Defendants filed on April 6, 2012 [Dkt. 290] (the “Motion”), and the Court’s order thereon entered on April 16, 2012 [Dkt. 299] (the “Order”). The Court’s Order required American, on the one hand, and Travelport LP and Travelport Limited (collectively, “Travelport”), on the other hand, to confer and try to resolve American’s concerns with Travelport’s privilege logs between themselves, and directed American to notify the Court by April 30, 2012 if the Motion should be rendered moot. In accordance with the Order, the parties have conferred regarding American’s Motion. As a result of the Court’s Order and the parties’ efforts, as of today, Travelport has committed to produce over 1,000 documents from its privilege log, including 118 of the 325 exemplar documents identified by American. Travelport has not yet produced any of these documents, but says it will do so by May 1, 2012. Additionally, just 3 business days ago, on April 25, 2012, Travelport produced a new “revised” privilege log, containing over 17,800 entries. The Court ordered the parties to attempt to resolve the discovery dispute without Court intervention. (See Order at 1.) American has not had the opportunity to scrutinize Travelport’s revised privilege log or the documents Travelport intends to produce. Further, American and Travelport are currently conferring as to whether Travelport will voluntarily review the remainder of its log, as requested by American in the relief sought in its Motion. Thus, the Motion has not been resolved at this time, but the US_ACTIVE:\43990324\04\14013.0135 Hon. Jeffrey L. Cureton April 30, 2012 Page 2 parties are working diligently resolve the dispute pursuant to Dondi Properties Corp. v. Commerce Savings & Loan Assoc., 121 F.R.D. 284 (N.D. Tex. 1988) (en banc). Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Respectfully submitted, s/Yolanda Cornejo Garcia Yolanda Cornejo Garcia cc: Counsel of Record US_ACTIVE:\43990324\04\14013.0135
