November 13, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 387 ORDER: With respect to the attached letter dated November 12, 2013, the application is denied for two reasons. (1) It does not comply with paragraph 1.E of this Court's Individual Practices, particularly the requirement that the position of opposing counsel be stated. (2) More importantly, the Court does not understand how Bank of China could represent to the Court that counsel is being asked to respond to "an unusually lengthy pre-motion letter" numbering "154 pages." The letter at issue is in fact 9 pages, not 154 pages. The attachments consists almost entirely of prior orders and other documents in the case that counsel should already be familiar with. If a new application is made, an attorney who is knowledgeable about the history of the discovery disputes in this case should provide a letter as to whether Bank of China stands by the reason referenced in "(2)" above as a basis for its request. Unless the Court is missing something, abandoning this position and promising not to make this kind of statement again in the future would be the better course of action.

Document filed by Bank of China Limited. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit A, #2 Exhibit B, #3 Exhibit C, #4 Exhibit D, #5 Exhibit E, #6 Exhibit F)(Saperstein, Lanier)
October 25, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 364 OPINION AND ORDER: # 103743 This suit arises out of the death of Daniel Wultz and the injuries of Yekutiel Wultz, suffered in a 2006 suicide bombing in Tel Aviv, Israel. Four members of the Wultz family brought suit against Bank of China ("BOC"), alleging acts of international terrorism under the Antiterrorism Act ("ATA"), among other claims. All of plaintiffs' non-federal claims against BOC have been dismissed. In addition, plaintiffs' attempt to hold BOC liable for aiding and abetting international terrorism under the ATA has been categorically foreclosed by the Second Circuit. The plaintiffs' only remaining claim against BOC is for acts of international terrorism under the ATA, based on BOC allegedly having provided material support and resources to a terrorist organization.... I understand that collecting and reviewing a large volume of documents maintained in a foreign country for production in the United States is challenging, and providing adequate data for a privilege log is an unfamiliar task. However, BOC's privilege logs are not sufficient to allow either plaintiffs or this Court to evaluate what, if any, claims of privilege BOC may have. BOC shall have one final opportunity to amend its privilege logs only as to the documents dated after January 23, 2008 pertaining to plaintiffs' demand letter. The amended logs must provide adequate information about the individual authors and recipients, as well as a basis for claiming either attorney-client privilege or work-product protection consistent with this Order. BOC shall submit its amended privilege logs within ten days. If BOC again fails to submit adequate logs, it will have waived any claims of privilege over those documents. CONCLUSION: For the foregoing reasons, plaintiffs' motion is granted in part. BOC must complete all ordered production within twenty days from the date of this Order. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 10/24/2013) (ja) Modified on 11/7/2013 (ca).

February 13, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 219 ORDER: In an email dated February 12, 2013, plaintiffs request, with the consent of defendant Bank of China Ltd. ("BOC"), a two-week extension to two briefing schedules: (a) plaintiffs' "challenge to the assertion of privilege over certain PRC regulatory communications (opening brief currently due February 14)," and (b) BOC's "challenge to the timeliness of [plaintiffs'] surviving non-federal claims (opening brief currently due February 21)." Plaintiffs state that the extensions are necessitated by the Chinese New Year and the parties' inability to communicate with local counsel in China. The extensions requested on consent by plaintiffs would not serve the interests of achieving a just, speedy, and inexpensive resolution of this case. Plaintiffs' requests are therefore DENIED.

January 21, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 204 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Shira A. Scheindlin from Lee Wolosky dated 1/18/2013 re: Plaintiff's counsel writes in response to Bank of China Ltd's letter of earlier this evening. It appears that the parties are in agreement about a briefing schedule for Plaintiffs' motion to compel discovery relating to communications with U.S. regulators such as the OCC due by February 1, 2013. We proposed that the Court order BOC's opposition brief to be submitted by February 11, the OCC's brief by February 15 and Plaintiff reply to both briefs by February 25, 2013. ENDORSEMENT: Plaintiff's proposed briefing schedule for plaintiff's motion to compel is approved with the following changes: Plaintiffs' brief due February 1, 2013. BOC's response brief due February 15, The OCC's brief due February 18. Plaintiff's reply brief due February 25.

January 10, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 203 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER #102798: that in light of the considerations above, I order the following: First, BOC will not be required automatically to produce SRTs, LTRs, and any other communications from BOC to the Chinese government whose disclosure is specifically and categorically prohibited under the Chinese laws specified above in (1 ). Nor is BOC required to produce a more specific "log" of such communications than already provided. If plaintiffs believe there is a legal basis for overruling BOC's assertion of privilege despite the language in this Order - perhaps by analogy to a court review under the Administrative Procedure Act of a U.S. agency decision not to disclose non-public information such as a SAR-plaintiffs are invited to submit a letter not to exceed three single-spaced pages explaining the legal basis for compelling production and proposing any protective measures that might be necessary for the review of non-public materials. The next discovery conference will be held January 30, 2013 at 4:30 pm. The parties are invited to submit pre-conference letters of no more than three single-spaced pages no later than January 27, 2013. (Signed by Judge Shira A.
