`Thanks, Chad. I’m afraid we’re unavailable at 11am ET tomorrow. We could do between 1-3pm ET.
`Otherwise, we’re available after 11:30am ET on Monday. Let us know what works.

`Beatrice –
`
`Arendi originally made this request exactly five months ago. Google promptly denied it on February
`28. Then 143 days passed before we heard from you again on this issue. At a minimum, your inaction
`amounts to waiver. Any argument that your client needs access to Google’s highly sensitive material
`is directly controverted by your conduct. If you still insist on a meet and confer despite your waiver,
`we are available tomorrow at 11 AM ET. Please send a call in.
`
`Regards,
`Chad

`
`Chad,
`
`As you well know, the burden of justifying a confidentiality designation—namely, showing that
`disclosure of the information “is likely to cause economic harm or significant competitive
`disadvantage to the Producing Party”—is on the party asserting the designation, including when
`counsel seeks permission from the producing party to show documents relating to damages to their
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 216-1 Filed 08/28/20 Page 4 of 7 PageID #: 6271
`
`client. PO 6(D). Several other defendants have consented to our sharing unit information with our
`client, so we are at a loss for what Google’s basis is for refusing to do the same. The Protective Order
`also provides that the parties will meet and confer promptly, within five business days of the
`request, when any issues with respect to designations arise. Please let us know when you are
`available to meet and confer within that five-day window—e.g., today or tomorrow.
`
`All the best,
`Beatrice
