Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[obiterdictum]

1. Obit, is there any indication of which documents will be produced and when?

No. The original April 17th date still stands and the number and type of documents selected by the Defendants from the 11,000-12,000 documents that would appear on that date in accordance with Judge Sweeney's March 7th order and criteria is unknown.

2. Will we be able to see it

Depends on Judge Sweeney.

3. or will the plaintiffs make any indication as to what is in them?

If they are allowed to do so by the court.

4. Anyway for us to know how damning these are?

That is what is waited for.

5. Also, " privilege log documents ". Which documents are these? The 11,000?

Yes.

6. Do they have to submit all 11,000 now?

No. The Defendants were never ordered to submit all the privilege log documents. The Defendants were allowed to select which privilege log documents fit the criteria of the March 7th order.

Rather, it is hereby ORDERED that defendant shall, on or by
April 17, 2017, review its privilege log and, based on the court’s September 20, 2016 ruling on
plaintiffs’ motion to compel as well as the Federal Circuit’s ruling on defendant’s petition for a
writ of mandamus, produce any additional documents listed on its privilege log that are either (1)
no longer privileged in light of both courts’ rulings or (2) despite being privileged must
nevertheless be produced in light of both courts’ rulings. I

7. Or the ~50 or so?

That is not ordered by Judge Sweeney. The percentage refers to what is stated to have been reviewed by the Defendants in there motion for additional time. It does refer to the percentage of documents to be submitted.

8. I feel like so many things here required you to be following for quite some time before.

These matters are contained in four documents. Judge Sweeney's September 20, 2016 order, the CAFC's January 30, 2017 order, Judge Sweeney's March 7th order and the Defendants' proposed motion, April 11, 2017. Of course, there are many documents before this concerning the privileged documents but these contain the orders to produce the documents and the criteria to be used in the selection of the documents.
