2019-07-2527Minute Entry for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler: Initial Case Management Conference held on 7/25/2019. The following documents the discussion at the CMC. (Not Reported): 1) The government made a production in June and contemplates a second production in July. 2) The government will confer with the agency and then the Plaintiffs about the categories of responsive documents (e.g. documents versus emails) and the volume (number of pages in the 8500 documents and in the categories of responsive documents). The parties will try to prioritize documents, including how they will be loaded in the review platform, because that may drive the review process. (For some agencies there is no ability to search in the review platform, which operates only as a mechanism to conduct the FOIA redactions). The parties will try to do this in two weeks, but it may take longer for the reasons described at the hearing. Preferably, the parties will have a plan by the end of August (including the government's proposal for rolling productions and a timeline) but it may take until mid September. 3) The court set a further CMC for October 24, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. A short status update is due October 17, 2019. Further Case Management Conference set for 10/24/2019 11:00 AM in San Francisco, Courtroom B, 15th Floor. Case Management Statement due by 10/17/2019.

At the time that the parties submit their updated statement (seven days before the CMC), they do not need to repeat the information in the current statement (but can just incorporate it by reference).
