ORDER (see document for details) Pursuant to an order of this Court, plntfs have submitted certain allegedly privileged docs for in camera inspection. Upon inspection of those docs, it appears that many of them may be privileged. However, there are certain categories of docs for which this Court is unable to reach a conclusion, without additional information. In order to insure that this Court makes a reasoned decision with regard to the claims of privileged, within the short time remaining for discovery, it is necessary for the Court to obtain certain additional information. To that end, It is hereby ORDERED that plntfs are to produce evidence.... It is further ORDERED that plntf is also to submit a sworn statement of the relationship ...... It is further ORDERED that plntf is to submit for in camera review any and all allegedly privileged docs with regard to the response to Interrogatory #46, no later than 9am Thursday, April 24.
