Gottridge dated January 24, 2019 filed by HSBC Bank PLC, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Societe Generale, Barclays Bank PLC. For the reasons discussed above, as to electronically tabulated data, Defendant SG is GRANTED leave to pseudonymize customer identity information from such datasets; Defendant Barclays is GRANTED leave to pseudonymize customer identity information from such datasets, to the extent that such information originated in Singapore and was transferred outside of Singapore pursuant to Part II of the Third Schedule of the Singapore Banking Act. As to the remaining documents that are not available in tabulated form, Defendants Barclays (only as to Singaporean documents produced by the sole Singapore-based custodian or transferred outside of Singapore pursuant to Part II of the Third Schedule of the Singapore Banking Act) and SG are GRANTED leave to redact customer identity information from their production, subject to a reasonable number of requests from Plaintiffs for disclosure of the pseudonym(s) associated with the customer(s) referenced in those documents. If after reviewing a pseudonymized or redacted document, Plaintiffs can articulate a specific need for the disclosure of the customer's identity, Plaintiffs may request that Defendants SG or Barclays produce the unredacted version of the document. Such requests must be reasonable in number, and the parties are directed to bring any disputes to the Court's attention if they cannot be resolved after a good-faith meet-and-confer. As to all other documents, Defendants request to redact or pseudonymize, including for purposes of complying with the common law of England and Wales, is DENIED. At the oral argument on this motion, the parties informed the Court that, despite their best efforts, the discovery schedule previously entered in this case, Dkt. 327, needs to be adjusted. The parties are directed to meet and confer and to submit an agreed-upon modification of the schedule by May 17, 2019. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the open motion at docket entry 362. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Valerie E.

Filing 81 JOINT ORDER NO. 1: 1. After meeting and conferring, the parties in the above-captioned cases shall submit a joint letter of no more than 5 pages by July 1, 2015 setting forth the parties' proposal for presenting such a tutorial to the Court. The letter shall include a proposed agenda of topics to be addressed and suggested dates for the tutorial. The topics suggested above are not intended to be mandatory nor all-inclusive; the parties should instead propose any topic that would be helpful for the Court to better understand the relevant markets. Interim class counsel in both MDLs and Defendants' Liaison Counsel in the Gold MDL should take the lead in facilitating input from the parties. While the Court anticipates that certain subjects may be unique to the gold or silver market, to the extent possible, subjects that are relevant to both markets should be addressed jointly. The content of the tutorial should be confined to factual background information and should not include the merits of the parties' arguments: to the extent there are material factual disputes, it may be necessary for Plaintiffs and Defendants to present separately on particular topics. 2. Any party wishing to respond to the July 1, 2015 joint submission shall file a letter of no more than 2 pages by July 10, 2015. (Signed by Judge Valerie E.
