`
`The Parties agree to meet and confer promptly regarding a
`
`confidentiality agreement, search terms, custodians, the form of production of
`
`electronically stored information and arrangements for any discovery to be taken
`
`from the parties’ agents and advisors.
`
`3.
`
`Production of documents shall commence on a rolling basis upon
`
`receipt of requests for production.
`
`4.
`
`Prior to production, the parties shall use their best efforts to de-
`
`duplicate any electronic material collected (including identical material transmitted
`
`between or among multiple custodians.). All documents produced shall be produced
`
`in electronic form, in accordance with specifications agreed upon by the Parties.
`
`5.
`
`Privilege logs need not include privileged documents that were
`
`created or sent after the date the litigation was filed. The parties need not log

`file a letter no longer than five pages, double-spaced, setting forth the factual and

`legal bases for the motion. Within five business days after the filing of such a letter,
`
`the party against whom summary judgment would be sought may submit a response
`
`no longer than five pages, double-spaced, stating why leave to move for summary
`

`judgment should be denied. The Court will then determine whether to grant leave to

`
`time to resolve the summary judgment motions.

`
`previously been deposed in this action shall be made promptly available for

`additional party witnesses for trial by agreement of the Parties or for good cause
`
`shown upon motion to the Court.

`to cite to them in their pre-trial briefs.

`The Parties may amend the dates set forth herein by written
`
