`
`
`Case No. 19-cv-02033-YGR (JCS)
`
`
`ORDER TO LODGE DOCUMENTS
`AND FILE LOG OF LODGED
`DOCUMENTS
`
`
`
`
`
`Presently before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Documents Withheld as
`
`Privileged (“Motion to Compel”). Dkt. Nos. 227, 232-3. A hearing on the Motion was held on
`
`April 15, 2022 and the parties have filed supplemental briefs after conducting further meet-and-
`
`confer efforts. Based on its review of the parties’ briefs, the Court concludes that it may be
`
`appropriate to review some or all of the documents that remain in dispute to determine whether the
`
`“primary or predominate purpose” of the documents or redacted material is the provision of “legal
`
`advice or assistance.” The Court therefore requests that Defendants electronically lodge the
`
`documents that remain in dispute – as well as the documents to which disputed documents were
`
`attached where privilege is claimed as to the attached document only -- with the Court no later
`
`than July 20, 2022. The documents and passcode can be sent by a secure link to
`
`jcspo@cand.uscourts.gov. Counsel may contact Ms. Karen Hom, Courtroom Deputy, at
`
`Karen_Hom@cand.uscourts.gov or (415) 522-2035 with any questions relating to lodging the
`
`documents with the Court.
`
`The lodged documents should be organized by category using the five topics addressed in
`
`the briefs, ie., documents related to the Investor Letter, documents related to the Nikkei article,
`
`group emails, documents from the files of non-attorneys, and attachments. In addition, the Court

`
`
`
`requests that Defendants file on the public docket a log that lists the documents lodged with the
`
`Court in the same order, also grouped by topic, and provides for each document all of the
`
`information contained in Defendants’ privilege log as well as citations to the specific
`
`declaration(s) that supports the assertion of privilege as to that document, including the relevant
`
`lines or paragraphs of the declaration.
`
`A further hearing on the Motion is set for July 29, 2022 at 9:30 a.m. to be conducted by
`
`Zoom webinar (id. 161 926 0804, password 050855).
