ORDER
The above matter came on for hearing on May 6, 1997, before the Honorable Kenneth J. Fitzpatrick. Counsel represented to this Court that some, if not all, of the parties have failed to complete and produce their privilege logs as set forth in the Orders of this Court. The deadline for document discovery is more than four months past. The Court finds it disturbing that some if not all of the parties have failed to complete and produce their privilege logs, especially in light of the fact that depositions have begun and the trial date is less than nine months away.
BE ON NOTICE, therefore, that all parties are ordered to complete and produce their remaining privilege logs within thirty (30) days of this Order. All claims of privilege shall be deemed waived with respect to any documents not listed on such logs by this date.
SO ORDERED,
Kenneth J. Fitzpatrick
Judge of District Court
May 8, 1997
