`
`
`Instructions
`
`1.
`
`The subpoena served upon you commands you to (at a minimum) produce all
`
`responsive documents in your possession, custody or control, or in the possession, custody or
`
`control of your agents or representatives, e.g., employees or attorneys.
`2.
`
`Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(d)(1), you are to provide documents
`
`responsive to this subpoena organized and labeled to correspond with the categories set forth
`
`below or can provide the documents as they are kept in the ordinary course of business.
`3.
`
`All electronically stored documents should be produced with multi-page OCR text
`
`and load files, including fields that reflect custodian, level of confidentiality, and attachment
`
`parameters, and whatever metadata fields are negotiated by the parties, to the extent such
`
`metadata exists, but generally shall include the path, the date the document was created and
`
`modified, its original file name and authors, and for email, the date and time the document was
`
`sent and received, number of attachments, subject, and the complete distribution list. Documents
`
`converted to TIFF will be produced as single-page TIFF images. Any document that would
`
`become illegible or unusable when converted to TIFF, such as Microsoft Excel, must be
`
`produced in native format. Further, any document that cannot be converted to TIFF should be
`
`produced in native format. For documents produced in native format, in addition to OCR text
`
`and metadata, slip sheets endorsed with the production number and level of confidentiality
`
`should be provided.
`4.
`
`Selection of documents from the files and other sources and the numbering of
`
`such documents shall be performed in such a manner as to insure that the source of each
`
`document may be determined, if necessary.
`5.
`
`File folders with tabs or labels, directories of files, or other information
`
`organization structures identifying documents called for by these requests should be produced
`
`intact with such documents.

`
`Documents attached to each other shall not be separated.

`
`
`7.
`
`If your response to a particular document request is a statement that you lack the
`
`ability to comply with that request, you must specify whether the inability to comply is because the
`
`particular document or category of information never existed, has been destroyed, has been lost,
`
`misplaced, or stolen, or has never been, or is no longer, in your possession, custody, or control, in
`
`which case the name and address of any person or entity known or believed by you to have
`
`possession, custody, or control of that document or category of information must be identified.
