ORDER: This matter comes before the Court sua sponte. On 7/22/2020, this Court held a telephone conference with the parties to discuss outstanding discovery disputes detailed in the parties' supplemental briefings. Dkt. ## 378 (Plaintiffs 9; supplemental briefing), 383 (Defendants' responsive briefing). Having considered the parties' briefs and oral arguments, the Court ORDERS as follows: The center of dispute between the parties is the scope of what should be pro duced from the five A-Files, and the Defendants have represented there may be thousands of pages of documents contained within the files. The Court is amenable to an in-camera review of the A-Files, and the parties are directed to meet and confer to narrow the scope of the A-File review. Based upon the parties' submission, the Court will make a final determination of whether it will take a random selection of the A-Files or review the entirety of what the parties have recommended. Th e parties have agreed to provide the narrowed scope of documents to the Court by 8/5/2020. The Court DENIES Plaintiff's request to subpoena third agencies as untimely. The deadlines set by the Court have passed and it will not revisit that topic. Dkt. # 280 . The Attorneys' Eyes Only Protective Orders (Dkt. ## 183 , 192 ) are sufficient and the Court is not convinced that, based upon the record, there is any reason to modify or revise what was previously approved. With respect to Defendants' clawback requests, if Defendants believe they have a basis, they need to file a motion. The Court reserves further decisions pending its decision on the requested in-camera document review. Signed by Judge Richard A. Jones. (MW)
