February 3, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 122 ORDER. This afternoon the Court held a telephonic conference with the parties regarding the scope of permissible discovery concerning the claims in this suit. The request related more to the permissible scope of discovery rather than to disputes regarding specific requests. The Court did not rule on specific discovery requests, nor does it preclude subsequent objections based on specific requests. Nevertheless, as it relates to discovery on Plaintiffs claims against Medicis the Court ruled that Plaintiffs may reasonably seek discovery as to its allegations pertaining to the manipulation of revenue by Medicis including, for example, the acceleration or deferral of revenue realization, channel stuffing, product return and exchange and accounting for reserves, and that it may reasonably seek such information back to January 1, 2000. As it pertains to the discovery sought against EY concerning its accounting for sales return reserves, the Court will allow reasonable discovery of such matters to the extent that the Plaintiffs request is reasonably tailored to EY's pharmaceutical clients with similar policies for reasonable periods. Further considerations include appropriate protection of the clients identities and their business confidential information. Depending upon the extent to which identifying material is sought, further consideration will be given to providing notification to the client to permit the client to assert any applicable argument or privilege. As it pertains to the scope of the privilege provided in Section 105(b)(5)(A) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, both Plaintiff and EY will simultaneously submit their positions in memoranda not to exceed eight pages and to be filed with the Court not later than February 17, 2011.
