STIPULATION AND ORDER AMENDING THE CIVIL CASE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND SCHEDULING ORDER (ECF NO. 19): IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the undersigned counsel, that the Order is hereby amended to adjourn sine die all discovery, including but not limited to, depositions, interrogatories, and document demands, except as follows: 1. Subject to certain production protocols agreed to by the parties, including, but not limited to the production of certain key metadata with respect to electronically stored information, the parties are to produce, complete and accurate copies of the following documents (the "Correspondence Documents"); as set forth herein. Within five (5) business days of the date this Stipulation and Order is entered, the parties are to serve, by email, up to three (3) targeted document requests (the "Document Requests"), specifically identifying, by topic, specific categories of documents the other party is to produce (the "Topical Documents," and together with the Correspondence Documents, the "Documents") in accordance with this Stipulation and Order. For the avoidance of doubt, the Documents Requests shall not include any requests for documents or communications between and among Vistaar and any business unit of GE other than GEEM and DE, unless such requests relate to documents concerning the negotiation, execution and performance of the: (a) MSA; (b) SOW; and (c) Pricing Science Agreement. Despite the limitations to the Document Requests, neither party is waiving its right to seek, or object to, additional requests at a later time, including requests regarding Vistaar's relationship with other business units of GE. While the parties do not waive their right to lodge objections to the Document Requests if agreement cannot be reached, the parties agree not to exchange written, formal objections, but rather to engage in good faith discussions to limit, to the extent necessary, the Document Requests. The parties do, however, maintain the right to object to the Document Requests provided for herein to the extent they seek information and/or documents that are protected by the attorney~client privilege and/or the work product doctrine, or that were prepared in anticipation of litigation and/or constitute the mental impressions, conclusions, opinions, or legal theories of any attorney or other representative of the party. Such information and/or documents shall not be provided in response to the Document Requests, and inadvertent disclosure of same shall not be deemed a waiver of any applicable privilege or of the protection of the attorney work product doctrine. (As further set forth in this Stipulation and Order.) (Signed by Judge William H. Pauley, III on 2/5/2016) (mro)
