Rule 502(d) is intended to address quick peek agreements and to provide for the clawback of inadvertently produced privileged materials. In fact, the Protective Order entered by Judge Manning in the Bankruptcy Case already includes a Rule 502(d) provision that sets forth the process for the recovery of inadvertently produced privileged information. Regardless, the Debtor could never even consider a stipulation, provided it would not act as a waiver which we are not convinced is the case, without first reviewing the privileged documents the Trustee intends to produce/affirmatively use in the adversary proceeding. As previously stated, the Debtor is willing to undertake a review of the documents at issue for privilege, as was done in the Greenwich Land adversary proceeding, to i) potentially narrow the volume of documents at issue, and ii) allow the\n\nDebtor to make an informed decision vis-à-vis the Trustee's request. Let me know if you want to proceed in this manner. Otherwise, the Debtor objects to the production or use of any privileged document and will oppose any motion the Trustee files.\n\nJim\n\n**From:** Patrick Linsey [<plinsey@npmlaw.com](mailto:plinsey@npmlaw.com)>\n\n**Sent:** Wednesday, October 11, 2023 8:36 PM\n\n**To:** James Moriarty [<jmoriarty@zeislaw.com](mailto:jmoriarty@zeislaw.com)>\n\n**Cc:** Aaron A.

Without waiver of either the Trustee's position regarding the effect of the debtor's and the defendant's shared counsel or the Trustee's right to seek relief pursuant to the privileges order, a stipulated order preserving privilege should resolve the issue without resort to motion practice. Please let us know your thoughts. Thanks.\n\nBest,\n\nPat\n\n**(d) Controlling Effect of a Court Order.** A federal court may order that the privilege or protection is not waived by disclosure connected with the litigation pending before the court — in which event the disclosure is also not a waiver in any other federal or state proceeding.\n\n**(e) Controlling Effect of a Party Agreement.** An agreement on the effect of disclosure in a federal proceeding is binding only on the parties to the agreement, unless it is incorporated into a court order.\n\n**Caution:** External Email. Verify you know the sender before clicking a Link.\n\nThanks Pat. Z&Z is counsel to the Debtor in the bankruptcy case and Ms. Guo as the sole defendant in an adversary proceeding. Thus, this situation is exactly like Greenwich Land and should proceed in the same manner. Our view is if the Trustee proceeds as you stated he would, by producing documents to Z&Z as counsel to Ms. Guo in the adversary, or even by producing documents to Z&Z and taking the position that the production to Z&Z complies with the Trustee's obligations to produce documents to Ms. Guo in the adversary, the Trustee will have violated the privileges order. As we discussed, if either side feels that a further discussion would be fruitful we will reach out.\n\nJim\n\n**From:** Patrick Linsey [<plinsey@npmlaw.com](mailto:plinsey@npmlaw.com)> **Sent:** Tuesday, October 10, 2023 5:39 PM **To:** James Moriarty [<jmoriarty@zeislaw.com](mailto:jmoriarty@zeislaw.com)>; Aaron A.

That is the same process that must be followed in this case. The Trustee cannot produce the documents to Z&Z in the adversary proceeding as counsel to Ms. Guo because that would result in waiver of privilege and the Trustee has not right under the Privileges Order to waive privilege.\n\nJim\n\n**From:** Patrick Linsey [<plinsey@npmlaw.com](mailto:plinsey@npmlaw.com)> **Sent:** Tuesday, October 10, 2023 3:32 PM **To:** Aaron A.

Do NOT reply, click links or open attachments, unless you recognize the sending email address and know the content is safe..\n\nDear Melissa, Lee, Aaron and Jim –\n\nThank you for your email and the proposed search terms. To avoid delaying discovery proceedings, the Trustee had already moved forward with searches based on search terms that counsel drafted in advance of receiving the defendant's terms – and a responsiveness review has been underway. There is substantial overlap between the terms that the Trustee selected and the defendant's list. That said, other terms\n\nincluded in the defendant's list—and particularly those that are not focused on the entities and personal property at issue in this adversary proceeding—are substantially overbroad. (*E.g.*, some proposed searches pertain generally to certain law firms' involvement with the debtor, much of which is not at issue in this adversary proceeding; others pertain generally to the debtor and sales, transfers, etc., completely untethered from the facts at issue here.)\n\nAccordingly, set forth below this email, please find (A) the terms that the Trustee initially searched; (B) the terms on the defendant's list that were addressed by the Trustee's initial terms; (C) additional terms from the defendant's list that the Trustee agrees to search; and (D) additional terms from the defendant's list that the Trustee declines to search, because the requested terms are overly broad and/or it would be unduly burdensome (and not proportionate to the needs of this dispute) for the Trustee to collect, search, and review further documents based on such terms, among other reasons. For terms under category (B), these include several instances where the defendant's narrower terms were subsumed by the Trustee's broader terms (*e.g.*, by including \"Mei\" as a search term, the Trustee addressed the defendant's proposed search term: \"Mei\" AND (\"plane\" or \"airplane\" or \"jet\" or \"purchase\" or \"transfer\" or \"sale\")).\n\nThe Trustee's searches were run against all documents from select document custodians based on the subject matter of this adversary proceeding, to wit: (i) the debtor; (ii) Williams & Connolly; (iii) Hodgson Russ; (iv) ACASS; (v) Mei Guo; (vi) UBS AG; (vii) Vistra; (viii) Raich Ende Malter; and (ix) Appleby Global. In addition, these searches were run against any document production obtained by the Trustee (irrespective of custodian) that, upon the Trustee's initial Rule 2004 review, was tagged as relating to \"personal property\" (as opposed to other \"issue tags\" used in the Trustee's Rule 2004 review). Together, this resulted in a collection set in excess of 49,000 documents against which the Trustee has run searches which results we are reviewing for responsiveness. As set forth below, the Trustee will be running certain additional searches based on the defendant's proposed terms in category (C) and will likewise review and produce responsive results as to those.\n\nThe foregoing is more than reasonable and proportionate to the dispute in this adversary proceeding—particularly considering that the defendant asserted the Fifth Amendment to refuse to provide *any* documents or information responsive the Trustee's requests. (The Trustee reserves all rights to challenge any invocation of privilege.) Indeed, the Trustee has incurred and continues to incur substantial expense in responding to the defendant's document requests. Nor is discovery in this adversary proceeding an invitation for the defendant and/or the debtor to conduct a fishing\n\nexpedition into the fruits of the Trustee's investigation unrelated to the claims at issue here (which is the plain implication of proposed terms like \"Kwok\" AND \"purchase\" or \"transfer\" or \"sale\").\n\nAs concerns privilege, please also confirm that the debtor consents to the production of documents that are subject to the debtor's attorney-client privilege (to which the Trustee has succeeded) to the extent that they are responsive. I expect most if not all such documents to be from the Williams & Connolly or Hodgson Russ custodians which Aaron and Jim should already be generally familiar with.\n\nPlease feel free to let us know if you have any questions regarding these matters.
