Mastro dated 6/2/11 re: The application apparently filed yesterday by the LAP Representatives, just two days before the deadline for objections and responses to the subpoenas served on several third parties, as wen as the date scheduled for the deposition of Pablo Fajardo, one of the LAP Representatives' lawyers and agents, is consistent with their pattern of seeking to delay and prevent the parties from completing discovery within the time set by this Court in its April 15 Scheduling Order. Under that Order, the discovery period ends on September 15, barely three months from today. No further delay is warranted, and the LAP Representatives' meritless application should be denied.

2011-07-14 118 0 Endorsed Letter ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan from Randy M. Mastro dated 7/13/2011 re: Counsel for Plaintiff Chevron Corporation writes to clarify an important fact regarding the privilege logs of Andrew Woods and Laura Garr. ENDORSEMENT: In its motion to compel of July 5, 2011 (DI 100), Chevron sought, among other things, the production of exchanges with third parties enumerated on the privilege log, which it stated were "highlighted in yellow." Having determined that there are approximately 300 documents highlighted in yellow on the privilege log, the Court, in order to save time, directed the submission of those documents to it for in camera inspection while referring the balance of the motion to Magistrate Judge Francis. DI 117. The Court subsequently received from Chevron a letter stating that there are an additional 400 documents listed on the privilege log that it claims also were exchanges with third parties, but that were highlighted in pink. It seeks an order directing the submission of those documents as well for in camera inspection by this Court rather than by Magistrate Judge Francis in the first instance. The Court will leave any in camera inspection of those additional documents to Magistrate Judge Francis should he think such inspection appropriate. In order to facilitate any such inspection, two copies of each of those documents shall be submitted to Magistrate Judge Francis' chambers no later than 4 p.m. on July 15, 2011 for such use as he may deem appropriate in resolving the motions now before him.

2011-08-02 177 0 Order on Motion for Extension of Time MEMO ENDORSEMENT denying [174] Motion for Extension of Time. ENDORSEMENT: As the conference call made clear, the Court takes seriously the difficulties that may have been created by Chevron's designation of the 26 experts who are the subject of the LAP Representatives' motion to strike or for an extension to meet their proposed testimony. But those concerns have no bearing at all on the matter of expert testimony with respect to the 5304(a), subd. 1 issue. The LAP Representatives have been aware of the issue for some time. They have not shown that they acted with due diligence in the intervening period. Their failure to designate experts and make disclosures on that issue by July 1 was questionable at best. They have not shown that there is any good reason for their failure to have done so by August 1. They have not shown that cause for modification of the scheduling order insofar as it applies to disclosures concerning experts directed at the 5304(a), subd. 1 issue. The motion for an extension to designate rebuttal experts on the 5304(a), subd. 1 issue (DI 175) is denied. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 8/2/2011) (mro) Modified on 8/3/2011 (mro).

Accordingly, all remaining aspects of Chevron's motion [DI 100] are referred to Magistrate Judge Francis. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 8/4/2011) (ab)
2011-08-05 182 0 Endorsed Letter ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan from Gomez LLC, Attorney at Law dated 8/4/2011 re: I write now to respectfully as that the Court grant a short extension of Judge Francis' stay so that it encompasses any ensuring time necessary for the Court to rule upon the objection. ENDORSEMENT: Magistrate Judge James C. Francis IV on 8/3/2011 issued a 48-page memorandum and order in which he overruled various attorney-client privilege and work product objection to subpoenas served upon non-party witnesses and directed production of most of the documents in question. DI 180. He stayed most aspects of is order until 5 p.m. on 8/8/2011 in order to permit the filing before me of objection to his ruling. The LAP Representatives this morning have submitted a letter requesting a short extension of the stay "so that it encompasses any ensuring time for the Court to rule upon the objections". As of this writing, no objections to Judge Francis' decision have been filed. The grounds of any such objections, save one mentioned in the LAP Representatives acknowledge that courts, in ruling on stay applications, consider the likelihood of success on the merits, the risk of irreparable harm to movants absent a stay the rick of substantial harm to respondents from the grant of stay, and considerations of public policy, they have made only the most cursory effort to address these factors and certainly have not established a likelihood of success on the merits. Accordingly, the application is premature and without merit and therefore is denied. This ruling however, is without prejudice to the filing, prior to the expiration of Judge Francis' stay, of a renewed stay application provided that all objections by parties and non-parties and any papers supporting such objections have been filed with or before the filing of any such renewed application.

2011-08-11 208 0 Order on Motion for Miscellaneous Relief ORDER. The Court treats Danziger's so-called Motion for Relief From Improper Subpoena [DI 194] as the motion to quash that it really is. The subpoena is addressed to a so-called the "Entity" which, notwithstanding the broadscope of the word "person" in Rule 30, is defined in overly broad and perhaps ambiguous terms - so much so that it would be difficult or impossible to determine with certainty all of the individuals and entities who fall within it. Accordingly, the motion to quash [DI 194] is granted. (RE: [194] Motion for MOTION TO QUASH). (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 8/11/11) (djc)

I ordered that Mr. Woods produce for in camera inspection all documents responsive to Chevrons subpoena created after October 20, 2010, so that I could determine which ones might be subject to the crime-fraud exception or otherwise discoverable.Mr. Woods turned over approximately 4,250 electronic files in Tagged Image File (TIF) format.

Within three days of the date of this Memorandum and Order, Mr. Woods shall produce to Chevron the documents as to which his objections have been overruled. However, this Order is stayed until 5:00 p.m. on August 22, 2011 to provide any party the opportunity to appeal. Additional relief as set forth in this Order. (Signed by Magistrate Judge James C.

For the foregoing reasons, (1) the LAP Representatives amended answer to the amended complaint, improperly filed without leave of Court [DI 63] is stricken; (2) the LAP Representatives motion for leave to file an amended answer to the amended complaint [DI 42] is granted. Chevrons motion for judgment on the pleadings dismissing certain defenses of the LAPs answer to the amended complaint or for other relief [DI 49] is deemed applicable to the amended answer to the amended complaint and granted to the extent that the twenty-eighth and thirty-first defenses and so much of the thirtieth defense as is (a) based upon anything other than the points noted in the text and (b) addressed to anything other than Chevrons claim for injunctive is granted. The latter motion is otherwise denied. These rulings are made only with respect to Action No. 2 and thus do not resolve this motion with respect to Donzigers defenses because he is not a party to this action.

2011-09-13 329 0 Order on Motion for Order to Show Cause MEMO ENDORSEMENT denying [320] Motion for Order to Show Cause. ENDORSEMENT: The movants are obliged by the Court's previous order to appear for depositions in New York today and tomorrow as scheduled. After 9 p.m. last evening, they electronically filed an application for an order to show cause why a protective order should not be granted and a stay of the depositions. They claim that they cannot lawfully appear in New York for depositions today and tomorrow because one of them lacks a passport and neither has a visa, an argument that they did not make in resisting Chevron's application to compel them to appear for examination in New York. [DI 219]. No support is offered for the proposition that a visa would be required to enter this country. The Court sees no reason to stay the depositions, as the proposed order to show cause seeks. The movants are under an obligation to comply with this Court's order. If they do not do so and Chevron seeks no relief based on that failure, there will be nothing left to decide. If Chevron, on the other hand, seeks sanctions or other relief based upon their failure to appear, the movants would be permitted to argue that they could not lawfully enter the United States in order to comply with the Court's order despite diligent efforts to obtain any documents and visas that may be required. There is no emergency here. The application for an order to show cause why a protective order should not be granted [DI 320] is denied. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 9/13/2011) (mro)

2012-06-20 397 0 Order on Motion for Miscellaneous Relief MEMO ENDORSEMENT on DEFENDANTS HUGO GERARDO CAMACHO NARANJO'S AND JAVIER PIAGUAJE PAYAGUAJE'S MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION OF THE SCOPE OF THE APRIL 2, 2012 MEMORANDUM OPINION EXONERATING AND DISCHARGING PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION BOND AND TO RESOLVE OUTSTANDING MOTION TO EXONERATE AND DISCHARGE SAME BOND [DI 381]. ENDORSEMENT: On March 7, 2012, the Court granted Chevron's motion for a preliminary injunction in Chevron Corp. v. Danziger, 11 Civ. 0691 (LAK), and conditioned that relief on the posting of a bond in the amount of $21.8 million. Chevron duly posted the bond, which was docketed as docket item 198 in 11 Civ. 0691. Following the appellate decision on appeals from that injunction, Chevron moved for an order exonerating the bond. Although the caption correctly entitled the case Chevron Corp. v. Danziger, it bore both the docket number of the case in which the bond was posted as well as the additional 11 Civ. 3718 (LAK) number. In any case, Chevron's motion was granted "in all respects" and the bond was "exonerated and discharged." 11 Civ. 0691 (LAK), DI 459. Defendants nevertheless move for "clarification" in No. 11 Civ. 3718 (LAK). The one and only bond ever required or posted in the controversies between any of these parties in this Court before the undersigned was exonerated and discharged on April2, 2012. There is not the slightest need for clarification of anything. Motion denied. Denying [393] Motion For Clarification of the Scope of the April 2, 2012 Memorandum Opinion Exonerating and Discharging Preliminary Injunction Bond. (Signed by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on 6/20/2012) (rjm) 2012-06-22 04:36:37 bdbe2783a6039f77598df214253fa8edf2f4e279
