Subject: RE: Stobie Creek: summary documents
Colleen,
Cory is on an airplane on his way back from Charlotte, NC, where he took the deposition of John Ivsan today. As he had told you in an e-mail sent to you on Tuesday of this week, the rules do not permit a part to use a document subpoena to shorten the time for production of documents provided for in Rule 34. Although you purported to issue the subpoena to Ms. Aprila, the documents you seek are not hers, but are documents of the United States, a party to this lawsuit. They are, accordingly, subject to the timing requirements of Rule 34.
We do, nonetheless, plan to get you the summary in time for you to take Ms. Aprila's deposition on August 28. As for the underlying documents, we produced all of them to you over the past year and a half, since Deutsche Bank and J&G began responding to our document subpoenas. You have had all those documents -- and some summaries of those documents -- for about a year. The summaries already in your possession include, for
example, Exhibits 512,513,515,516,517,519,520, and 556, used last week at the depositions of David Parse
and Craig Brubaker; Exhibit 7 to the deposition of Donna Guerin taken two weeks ago; and a number of other documents on which we recently sought admissions. You certainly have had ample opportunity to review them and the documents they summarize. But if, after looking at the summary to be produced, you feel you have not had enough time to review the documents, we would agree to the suggestion you made in an e-mail on Tuesday to postpone the Aprila deposition to give you a chance to review them.
As for your assertion about additional J&G documents, i do not recall receiving any additional documents from J&G in ApriL. Instead, I do recall receiving one CD with documents from Deutsche Bank in ApriL. And I also recall that we forwarded a copy of that CD to you shortly thereafter. It would help if you could tell us what J&G documents you believe we received and did not send to you, so that we can identify them and determine what
happened.
In any event, by copy of this e-mail, I am asking Cory to respond to you more fully as necessary, when he returns.

Subject: Stobie Creek: summary documents
Cory, We stil have not received the underlying documents for Ms. Aprile's summary chart or her chart. Please forward a tracking number. As you know these were due on August 10, 2007, pursuant to the subpoena. The subpoena provided for a reasonable time to comply and we need suffcient time to review the documents prior to the
deposition.
