February 5, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 436 ORDER: Wells Fargo moves for reconsideration of the Court's November 20, 2017 order. This order concerned the plaintiffs' responses to Wells Fargo interrogatories asking for the dates the plaintiffs learned of the events listed in the appendices to their complaints. On January 19, 2018, the plaintiffs submitted exemplars from their privilege log that Wells Fargo contends demonstrate that their interrogatory responses are false. The Court has reviewed these exemplars and finds that they are not sufficiently probative so as to require the plaintiffs to supplement their responses a second time. Wells Fargo's motion to reconsider is DENIED. The Court notes that Privilege Log Entry 287 is an exemplar in another privilege dispute, which will be resolved by separate order. The parties are ORDERED to file their letters on the public docket with the proposed redactions. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn on 2/5/2018) (mro)

January 11, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 429 ORDER: On December 4, 2017, Wells Fargo moved for reconsideration of the Court's November 20, 2017 Order granting plaintiffs' motion for a protective order preventing Wells Fargo from seeking additional answers to certain interrogatories. See Order at ECF No. 349. The motion is fully briefed. Wells Fargo is ORDERED to file an unredacted version of its letter on the docket. The exhibits may remain redacted as proposed. The original dispute centered on Wells Fargo's contention that the plaintiffs' answers to certain interrogatories were deficient because they were undated. In the main, plaintiffs' complaint alleges certain historical events and Wells Fargo's interrogatories seek the dates on which the plaintiffs learned of these events in order to establish when the plaintiffs' claims would have accrued (and therefore whether they are barred by the statutes of limitations). The Court resolved this conflict by requiring the plaintiffs to provide corresponding dates after an investigation. Wells Fargo revives the dispute, arguing that the plaintiffs' privilege logs contain information that indicate that the plaintiffs learned about the relevant events earlier than claimed in their revised interrogatory answers. It further argues that the interrogatories are the best method to learn these facts because other sources of discovery have been unavailing. Wells Fargo does not seek to pierce attorney-client privilege. It seeks the Court either to reconsider its earlier motion now, or to do so after reviewing the 14 exemplars it identified from the privilege log. Plaintiffs respond that Wells Fargo's motion fails to meet the standard for a motion for reconsideration. The Court finds Wells Fargo's narrowly tailored request to be appropriate and that the interest of justice are served by the Court's further engagement on this issue. Because the Court did not examine these documents before ruling, they constitute new evidence sufficient meet the strict standard governing motions for reconsideration. At this point, the Court declines to rule based on the privilege log alone. After review of the 14 exemplars, the Court will reconsider its November 22, 2017 Order. Wells Fargo's motion for reconsideration is GRANTED in part. The Plaintiffs are ORDERED to submit the fourteen documents identified by Wells Fargo for in camera review by January 19, 2018. By that same date, each side may submit a three-page letter setting forth their position with respect to these documents. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn on 1/11/2018) (ap)

January 5, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 427 NOTICE of Withdrawal of Appearance of M. Fleischman. Document filed by Cira SCM, LLC. (Fleischman, Matthew)
January 2, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 426 ORDER: The Court has already ruled that this interrogatory is appropriate and will not revisit that ruling. The only new objections Plaintiffs raise are equally without merit. As part of their affirmative case, Plaintiffs will be required to prove how and when they believe Wells Fargo discovered these breaches and therefore had a duty to act. Even under a willful blindness theory, there must be a moment when Plaintiffs claim that Wells Fargo's failure to act constituted a breach of the governing agreements. Wells Fargo is entitled to this information, which it properly sought in an interrogatory. It is true that this information is also relevant to Wells Fargo's statute of limitations defense, but that is not a basis to deny the relief sought. Plaintiffs' use of language such as "by January 2009 and continuing thereafter," "on or before" or "the latest possible date" inadequately responds to this properly propounded interrogatory. And finally, the Court has ruled that Plaintiffs are not entitled to pierce Wells Fargo's attorney-client privilege to establish dates of discovery. Therefore, Plaintiffs are directed to supplement their answers as follows: BlackRock is ORDERED to identify the date on which it contends Wells Fargo discovered each R&W breach listed in its previous interrogatory response. Royal Park is ORDERED to update any interrogatory answer that includes "on or before" to the date on which it contends Wells Fargo discovered each R&W breach. Any interrogatory answer that includes "on or around" or "on or about" will be construed to mean "within 10 days of." NCUA is ORDERED to identify the date on which it contends Wells Fargo discovered each R&W breach listed in its previous interrogatory response. NCUA is further ORDERED to remove lawyerly language that limits the utility of its responses, such as "the latest possible date." Plaintiffs are further ORDERED to update their answers to these interrogatories by the date on which their initial expert reports are due. The remainder of Wells Fargo's motion to compel is DENIED as moot or on the merits. Wells Fargo is further ORDERED to file its October 10, 2017, and December 15, 2017 letters on the docket. Any requests to file redacted versions of the letters are GRANTED, and as further set forth in this order.

December 22, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 425 ORDER granting #424 Letter Motion for Extension of Time to File Application GRANTED.

December 18, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 422 ORDER: Finally, Plaintiffs argue that it is fundamentally unfair to shield Wells Fargo's communications in this regard. It is true that "whether a party has waived attorney-client privilege involves questions of fundamental fairness; but notions of equitable fairness cannot be used as a substitute for the lack of the essential element of reliance on privileged communications." Aristocrat Leisure Ltd. v. Deutsche Bank Tr. Co. Americas, 727 F. Supp. 2d 256, 274 (S.D.N.Y. 2010). Where a withholding party does not assert a defense that "can only be scrutinized by examining the disputed communications," there is no "at issue" waiver. Scott v. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., 67 F. Supp. 3d 607, 611 (S.D.N.Y. 2014). Plaintiffs' motion for preclusion or waiver is DENIED, and as further set forth in this order.

August 21, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 381 OPINION AND ORDER: For the foregoing reasons, the Sampling Motion is DENIED, the 30(b)(6) Motion is DENIED, and the Motion to Supplement and Substitute is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the following motions: in Case No. 14 Civ. 9371, the motions pending at Docket Entries #407 and 432; in Case No. 14 Civ. 9764, the motion pending at Docket Entry #299; in Case No. 14 Civ. 10067, the motions pending at Docket Entries #292 and 308; in Case No. 14 Civ. 10102, the motion pending at Docket Entry #315; and in Case No. 15 Civ. 10033, the motion pending at Docket Entry #238. Before concluding, the Court pauses to express its dissatisfaction with the blatant circumvention of its briefing-length restrictions. The Court was troubled by this conduct with regard to the briefing submitted at the motion-to- dismiss stage, and is disappointed to see its utilization again here. The parties and Plaintiffs in particular are hereby warned that future attempts to evade the Court's page limits, by relegating entire arguments to the footnotes, or by using other "creative" formatting devices, will not be taken kindly. Going forward, the parties would do well to seek the Court's leave to enlarge their page limits, rather than attempting to hide their unauthorized enlargements in plain sight.

July 14, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 369 LETTER addressed to Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn from Eric P. Stephens dated July 14, 2017 re: June 27 bank examination privilege order. Document filed by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A..(Stephens, Eric)
July 14, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 368 ORDER: Although it may very well be true that plaintiffs' list of breaches would expand if Judge Failla construes "discover" to mean "should have known,: the Court affirms its prior Order directing plaintiffs to respond to Interrogatory 5 before Judge Failla's adjudication of the Sampling Order and before expert discovery, with the presumption that "discover" means "actual knowledge." The Court did, however, indicate at the discovery conference that plaintiffs could respond to Interrogatory 5 "with respect to a handful of loans... What I'd like to do is do some sort of... some small category of loans and have the plaintiffs respond, at least, so we can identify some information." June 15, 2017 Hearing Tr. at 102:22-103:15. Plaintiffs proposed "one loan from ten different trusts" while Wells Fargo suggested "two trusts for each plaintiff and ten loans per trust for each plaintiff." Id. at 103:18, 104:3-5. But given the volume at issue here of thousands of mortgage loans per Covered Trust, a ten-or twenty-loan sample would generate too low of a yield. Accordingly, plaintiffs are directed to respond to Interrogatory 5 for a sample of a hundred (100) loans for each plaintiff group within sixty (60) days of this Order. This Order does not affect or modify the Courts June 21, 2017 Order with respect to any of the other interrogatories propounded by Wells Fargo, and as further set forth in this order.

June 30, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 362 ORDER: Wells Fargo has represented that such valuation information has been the subject of ongoing meet and confer discussions between Wells Fargo and Phoenix Light. Phoenix Light has also committed to searching for valuation information held by the non-Phoenix Light entities, though Wells Fargo has expressed concern that there is no guarantee the documents gathered from that search will overlap with the information contained in the "Trustee putback" analysis.In light of the parties ongoing efforts to reach an internal decision as to valuation information, the Court will defer a ruling on whether the "Trustee putback" analysis constitutes protected work product and whether Wells Fargos substantial need justifies its disclosure. The parties are directed to continue the meet and confer process and to submit a joint letter as to the status of those discussions by no later than July 14, 2017. If the parties have exhausted the meet and confer process and cannot resolve this dispute themselves, the Court will issue a ruling as to whether the Trustee putback analysis should be produced.Wells Fargo is directed to publicly file a copy of its June 27, 2017 response with the appropriate redactions.

June 28, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 359 ORDER: Given Phoenix Light's response that the global settlements did include claims relating to securities in "certain of the Covered Trusts," Phoenix Light is ORDERED to produce those settlement agreements by no later than July 7, 2017. Phoenix Light is directed to confirm that the payments and recoveries identified in plaintiffs' June 26, 2017 letter are fully responsive to the Interrogatory. If so, no further response is necessary. But, if there are other payments that Phoenix Light received relating to the Covered Trusts (other than distributions of principal and interest earned in the ordinary course), they must be disclosed, regardless of the source, by no later than July 7, 2017. Wells Fargo is directed to file its June 26, 2017 letter on the public docket with the appropriate redactions, and as further set forth in this order.

March 23, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 295 ORDER: The Court has reviewed and considered the parties' joint submission dated March 17, 2017, regarding Phase II of the Loan Re-Underwriting Protocol. It is ORDERED that: All party fact discovery shall be completed by March 31, 2017. Plaintiffs are granted leave to continue pursuing third-party discovery to obtain additional loan files and guidelines in order to reunderwrite additional loans. Depositions of non-parties (with the exception of warrantors and servicers) shall be completed by March 31, 2017. See BlackRock ECF No. 355. Consistent with the Court's February 6, 2017 Order (see BlackRock ECF No. 340), depositions of warrantors and servicers are stayed pending the District Court's adjudication of plaintiffs' objections to the March 10, 2017 Sampling Opinion. The parties are directed to identify any anticipated expert discovery that will not be affected by the plaintiffs' appeal of the Sampling Opinion in a joint letter to the Court by next Friday, March 31, 2017. The Court believes the parties should continue to advance this case for trial while the plaintiffs' objections are pending. All other expert discovery tied to the Sampling Opinion is stayed until those objections are adjudicated. All other relief sought by Wells Fargo is DENIED.

March 23, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 294 ORDER denying #286 Letter Motion to Compel. Wells Fargo's application for the Phoenix Light plaintiffs to produce documents demonstrating "proof of ownership" of the RMBS at issue is DENIED. Wells Fargo has failed to establish that documents exist that are being withheld. And issues related to the strength of plaintiffs' proof are more properly addressed at summary judgment or trial. Furthermore, Phoenix Light has represented that it already searched for and produced all responsive documents underlying its acquisition of the RMBS certificates at issue. See ECF No. 288 at 2. Regarding the "Deep Dive" analysis performed by BlackRock at the behest of EAA, plaintiffs argue that these documents constitute non-discoverable work product and were created for assessing potential legal action involving other defendants or trusts or joining actions already pending; and not for any independent business purpose. See ECF No. 288 at 3. Wells Fargo moreover does not dispute that the "Deep Dive" analysis pertained to Phoenix Light's larger RMBS portfolio, not to the specific trusts or loans at issue. See ECF No. 286 at 3. Wells Fargo has failed to meet its burden of establishing that it has a substantial need for this attorney work product, or that the failure to produce it would constitute an undue burden on Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo's application for Phoenix Light to produce the "Deep Dive" documents is DENIED as well. (HEREBY ORDERED by Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn)(Text Only Order) (Netburn, Sarah)

February 15, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 254 ORDER granting #244 Letter Motion to Compel. Compensation for the testimony of a fact witness is governed by 28 U.S.C. 1821, which provides for a $40 per day fee for each day's attendance. By contrast, expert witnesses designated under Rule 26 are entitled to a reasonable fee for time spent in responding to discovery paid by the party seeking the discovery, [u]nless manifest injustice would result. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(4)(E). The rule requiring the party seeking the discovery to pay a higher fee to depose an expert witness is intended to avoid the unfairness of letting one party have what the other party has paid for. 8A Wright & Miller, Fed. Prac. and Proc. 2034. The witness here has not been designated as an expert, and notwithstanding his lawyer's per-hour valuation of his time, he is not entitled to anything beyond what 1821 requires. Moreover, the defendant has offered to depose the witness on a Saturday to avoid any interference with his work. Defendant's motion to compel the witness to comply with the subpoena is granted. The defendant is directed to serve immediately this order upon counsel for the witness. (HEREBY ORDERED by Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn)(Text Only Order) (Netburn, Sarah)

For the avoidance of doubt, this Order shall not apply to expert depositions. "Defendant" shall mean Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo"). "Defendant's Witnesses" shall include present and former employees of Defendant regardless of whether they are represented by Jones Day. "Parties" shall mean Plaintiffs, any Plaintiffs Group, and Defendant, collectively, as those terms are defined herein. "Plaintiffs Group" shall mean each of the 11 separate sub-groups of Plaintiffs in the foregoing actions, including: (i) Commerzbank, (ii) Royal Park, (iii) Phoenix Light, (iv) the BlackRock funds, the PIMCO funds, Prudential, TIAA, Kore Advisors, Sealink and DZ Bank in the BlackRock Action, and (v) the NCUA Board (NCUA) as liquidating agent in the NCUA Action. "Plaintiffs' Witnesses" or "Plaintiffs Group's Witnesses" shall include (a) present and former employees of Plaintiffs or the Plaintiffs Group regardless of whether those individuals are represented by Plaintiffs' counsel and (b) present and former employees of the five corporate credit unions in the NCUA Action (the "CCUs") to the extent such employees are represented by counsel for NCUA.

November 23, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 175 ORDER: Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that documents from the six non-CTS custodians designed by Wells Fargo on July 26, 2016, be produced by Friday, December 2, 2016. In addition, the Court GRANTS the plaintiffs' request for four additional non-CTS custodians of their choosing. The plaintiffs shall make their choices by no later than November 28, 2016, and production of these custodians' documents shall be produced by no later than December 9, 2016. As discussed at the Court's November 21, 2016 conference, Wells Fargo shall apply the ESI search terms previously ordered by the Court. With regards to sanctions, the Court finds the conduct of Wells Fargo's counsel to be in good faith, albeit overly zealous in his representation of the witness at times. The plaintiffs' request that sanctions be imposed against Wells Fargo's counsel in the form of deposition costs and other expenses is therefore DENIED. Moreover, because this deposition was intended only to provide additional names for non-CTS custodians, and given that the plaintiffs have received that information through Exhibit 31, permitting the plaintiffs to select four additional non-CTS custodians will serve as a bulwark against an over-aggressive litigation in the future.

November 15, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 164 ORDER: After reviewing the parties' submissions, the Court finds that, absent consent from Wells Fargo Bank and HSBC Bank USA, it would be extraordinary to order two defendants from separate cases, appearing before two different district judges, to coordinate briefing regarding the sampling issues and to submit one joint brief. Plaintiffs' request, dated November 14, 2016, that Wells Fargo and HSBC file one 20-page joint responsive brief is therefore DENIED. The Court will file an identical Order simultaneously in Coordinated RMBS Trustee Litigation Against HSBC Bank USA, National Association, Nos. 14-cv-08175 (LGS)(SN), 14-cv-09366 (LGS)(SN), 14-cv-10101 (LGS)(SN), 15-cv-02144 (LGS)(SN), 15-cv-10032 (LGS)(SN), and 15-cv-10096 (LGS)(SN).

November 4, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 154 ORDER: On October 28, 2016, the Court resolved numerous outstanding discovery disputes from the bench. In order to memorialize certain pretrial deadlines, the Court ORDERS: 1. All fact discovery shall be completed by February 28, 2017. 2. The parties shall submit a joint protocol governing depositions by November 23, 2016. 3. With respect to ongoing discovery disputes, the parties must engage in a good faith meet and confer in an effort to resolve the dispute on their own. Any outstanding disputes may be brought to the Court's attention by the party seeking the discovery by filing a letter, of no more than three pages, on the Thursday of that week. The party opposing discovery shall submit a reply letter, of no more than two pages, on the following Friday. The Court will institute a standing telephone conference at 1:00 p.m. EST on every Monday. The parties are directed to establish a conference call number and provide that information to the Court and all interested parties no later than 10:00 a.m. EST each Monday.

November 4, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 153 ORDER denying (220 in 1:14-cv-9371) Letter Motion to Compel Plaintiffs to produce RMBS models and related materials. In short, Wells Fargo has demonstrated only a marginal need for a large undertaking. Plaintiffs will need time to identify the specific versions of the RMBS models and to copy the materials onto an external hard drive. Wells Fargo will then need to download, process, analyze, and review. Throughout the process, there will inevitably be disputes regarding whether the correct version was selected or whether any codes or formulas are missing, all of which hobble a discovery timetable that already contains a motion practice regarding sampling and a loan re-underwriting schedule. Wells Fargo's demand is therefore DENIED without prejudice to exploring the information it believes the RMBS models to contain at depositions, and renewing its request, if appropriate, on the record evidence. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motion at ECF No. 220 in the lead case, No. 14-cv-9371. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn on 11/4/2016) (cla)

November 2, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 148 LOAN RE-UNDERWRITING PROTOCOL-PHASE I: It is hereby ORDERED, for all Actions, as follows: 1. On or before November 7, 2016, Plaintiffs shall each provide Wells Fargo with a list of the mortgage loans that they intend to re-underwrite from their respective sample loans (collectively, the "Sample Loan Collection"). 2. Within 30 days of the Court's entry of this Loan Re-Underwriting Protocol-Phase I, Plaintiffs shall provide Wells Fargo with a single expert report, consistent with Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, explaining the sampling methodology and criteria for drawing the Sample Loan Collection ("Plaintiffs' Sampling Report"). This single report shall be submitted without prejudice to Plaintiffs filing separate reports regarding sampling findings. Plaintiffs' Sampling Report shall, among other things: (1) define the population(s) and explain the criteria used to include and exclude loans from the population(s); (2) explain how the Sample Loan Collection, and any supplemental loan samples, were drawn from the population(s) (e.g., simple random sampling, stratified sampling); (3) describe the full set of quantities that Plaintiffs intend to measure from the Sample Loan Collection; (4) if Plaintiffs plan to produce both Initial Sample Loans and Backup Sample Loans, identify which loans are in the Initial Sample Loans and which loans are in the Backup Sample Loans, and describe the methodology by which a loan from the Backup Sample Loans will be selected to replace a loan in the Initial Sample Loans; and (5) identify any other information Plaintiffs believe to be necessary and appropriate for Wells Fargo's evaluation of Plaintiffs' sampling methodology. Plaintiffs shall also produce the computer code and input files used to identify the population(s) and draw the Sample Loan Collection. To the extent necessary to evaluate the expert's methodology, Plaintiffs shall provide with Plaintiffs' Sampling Report all documents and/or materials that their sampling expert or consultant used, considered, generated and/or relied upon in connection with Plaintiffs' Sampling Report; as further set forth herein. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn on 11/2/2016) (mro)
November 2, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 147 ORDER: Plaintiffs have expressed their intention to re-underwrite a sample of the loans at issue to prove their claims. Wells Fargo objects to sampling on both methodological and legal grounds. See ECF No. 190 at 4. On October 28, 2016, the parties appeared before the Court for a discovery conference to discuss issues regarding the mortgage loan re-underwriting sampling process for the above-captioned Actions. The Court ordered the parties to brief the issue of whether sampling, in the context of re-underwriting mortgage loans, can be used to support or challenge any claim or defense in these related Actions. Accordingly, the parties shall each submit a brief, not to exceed 20 double-spaced pages, addressing whether sampling should be authorized. Plaintiffs shall make a single submission by Friday, November 18, 2016. Defendant shall make its submission by December 12, 2016. No reply submission will be accepted. This schedule does not modify any other deadline in these Actions except those related to the loan re-underwriting sampling process (exclusive of the deadlines set forth in the Wells Fargo Loan Re-Underwriting Protocol-Phase I). (As further set forth in this Order.) ( Brief due by 12/12/2016.) (Signed by Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn on 11/2/2016) (mro)

July 27, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 117 LETTER addressed to Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn from Jayant W. Tambe dated July 27, 2016 re: Scheduling Order, dated July 22, 2016. Document filed by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A..(Tambe, Jayant)
July 22, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 116 ORDER: Having considered the proposed discovery schedule in 15-cv-10033, the Court enters the following schedule to govern expert discovery in each of the above-captioned actions. Disclosure of expert evidence as required by Rule 26(a)(2)(A), (B), or (C), including the identities and reports of experts, shall be made by Friday, March 10, 2017. The disclosure of expert evidence intended by a party solely to contradict or rebut expert evidence on the same subject matter disclosed by the opposing party shall be made by Friday, April 21, 2017. All expert discovery shall be completed by Friday, June 2, 2017. These dates shall not be modified. The Court does not believe that these cases require an extended expert discovery schedule if the parties work diligently and cooperatively in advance of the expert discovery period to develop a loan re-underwriting protocol. Accordingly, by no later than Friday, August 5, 2016, the parties shall submit a joint proposed protocol to be ordered by the Court setting forth agreed upon deadlines. Although the Court seeks guidance from the parties on how best to effectuate a protocol to minimize litigation costs and delay, the parties should consider deadlines for: (1) identifying the loan samples that the plaintiffs intend to re-underwrite; and (2) completing the original files for the identified sample loans along with the associated underwriting guidelines. The plaintiff and defendant shall take joint responsibility for assembling the loan files in the interests of expediency. In addition, the parties should consider whether preliminary expert disclosures would advance the litigation or provide an impetus for settlement. A deadline for disclosures of such initial findings might be accompanied by a deadline by which the defendant must notify plaintiffs of its intentions to make use of any alternative set of loans for purposes of reunderwriting or any other purpose. Any proposed protocol must include regular status reports to the Court. ( Expert Discovery due by 6/2/2017.) (Signed by Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn on 7/22/2016) (mro)
