Judge: Hon. Anthony W. Ishii
Third Am. Compl. Filed: Oct. 8, 2010
Trial Date: Nov. 14, 2012
WHEREAS, this case involves an environmental cleanup site that has been the subject of agency action and potential litigation for over twenty years;
WHEREAS, as a result, there are a large volume of documents relating to this case that are claimed to be privileged;
WHEREAS, the parties recognize and acknowledge that the preparation of privilege logs as described in Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 26(b)(5)(A) would be unreasonably burdensome and expensive;
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 26(b)(5)(A) are waived, and the parties shall not be required to prepare privilege logs; this waiver does not affect a party's right to contest the withholding of any purportedly privileged document.
