ORDER
(This Document Relates to All Cases)
JAMES P. O'HARA, Magistrate Judge.
On November 19, 2019, the court ordered the parties to meaningfully confer and attempt to reach agreement on the information fields that will be included on fact sheets and privilege logs prepared for each petitioner.1 Petitioners have filed a motion (ECF No. 59), stating the parties have reached agreement on the privilege-log format and on all but one field on the fact sheets. Specifically, the parties disagree about whether the fact sheets should include a field that notes whether the "government has documentary evidence that Petitioner signed a `Monitoring of Inmate/Detainee Telephone Calls' intake form." Petitioners ask the court to prohibit inclusion of this telephone-intake field.
First, the court commends the parties for reaching consensus on the privilege-log format and on all but one field of the fact sheets. The court appreciates the time, effort, and reasonableness of the lawyers involved in reaching these agreements.
As to the single point of disagreement, the court finds the telephone-intake field should be included on the fact sheets. This ruling does not change or impact any of Judge Robinson's rulings in Black. Although in Black Judge Robinson rejected the government's argument that a petitioner's signature on a "Monitoring of Inmate/Detainee Telephone Calls intake form" alone constituted waiver, the order was not dispositive on the waiver issue.2 Whether or not a petitioner signed the form is relevant (even if not dispositive) to the government's waiver defense.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioners' motion to exclude the telephone-intake field on the fact sheets is denied.
