Re: GTECH Corporation v. Scientific Games International, Inc., et al.
Civil Action No. O4-138-JJF
Dear Judge Farnan:
We write on behalf of GTECH in response to the letter hom counsel for Scientific
Gaines submitted eniier today concerning G”i`ECI·I’s pending motion for reconsideration [13.1.
101} of the Court’s July iiih Order [D.I. 96} regarding production by GTECH of opinions of
counsel. In that letter, counsel for Scientific Games stated that GTECH “deciined to produce the
opinions, because ‘tl1e Order did not specify a time frame within which production of the . . .
opinions must be made. "’ In actuality, the reason that GTECH has not produced the opinions is
that GTECH’s pending motion for reconsideration is based on a claim of attorney client
privilege. The motion for reconsideration would be rendered moot if GTECH were forced to
produce those opinions prior to a decision on its pending rnotion for reconsideration. For this
reason, GTECI-I requested on page 1 of its motion for reconsideration that the production order
be stayed pending resolution ofthe motion for reconsideration. (D.I. 101 at 1 and fn. 1).
We thank the Court for the opportunity to clarify this issue.
Respectfully submitted,
Josy W. Ingersoll (No. 1088)
