`
`Dear Jennifer:
`
`We are following up on our November 3, and November 6, 2020, letters regarding
`missing documents pertaining to license and other agreements.
`
`Defendants still have failed to produce the following documents despite our requests:
`
`• A native file version of ALTRIA_IQOS_EDVA0000001757;
`
`• Any additional documents relating to

`
`
`
`
`These documents are responsive to at least RFP Nos. 18, 19, 27, 28, 33, 63, the responses
`to which were due on September 21, 2020, and RFP Nos. 243, and 261, the responses to which

`these documents in correspondence dated November 3 and November 6.
`
`Mr. Manson’s deposition is scheduled to begin in less than two days. Defendants’ failure
`to produce these relevant documents has prejudiced and continues to prejudice Reynolds’s ability
`to prepare for the deposition and for its expert reports. Please produce these documents by close
`of business today.
`
`With regard to your colleague Daniel McNeely’s e-mails regarding Reynolds’s response
`to Interrogatory No. 7, Reynolds has supplemented its response to that interrogatory two separate
`times to provide the requested information. The remaining information you seek is properly the
`subject of expert testimony, and Reynolds is not obligated to disclose expert opinions in advance
`of the court deadlines for doing so. We are not available at 4 pm ET today to discuss. We
`suggest it would be more fruitful to await Defendants’ promised supplementation of its response
`to Reynolds’s Interrogatory No. 4 and to have a discussion, if necessary, about both sets of
`interrogatory answers at the same time. We can be available Tuesday afternoon.

`
`
`Dear Thomas:
`
`the
`
`In our November 16 letter to Jennifer Koh, we requested additional documents relating to
` License Agreement, including communications about
`
` Those documents are responsive to, at least, RFP
`Nos. 33 and 243. In your response on the same day, you stated that responsive documents were
`produced on Friday, November 13, 2020, citing ALTRIA_IQOS_EDVA0000004620-24. But
`ALTRIA_IQOS_EDVA0000004620-24 is
`; it does not
`address the additional information we requested.
`
`
` (See Manson
`
`
`
`
`During Mr. Manson’s deposition on November 18, 2020, however, he identified
`numerous other documents relating to the
` License Agreement that are
`responsive to our requests. In particular, Mr. Manson identified that
`
`Rough Tr. at 168:3-6.) Mr. Manson also testified that
`
`Id. at 167:21-24; 168:16-23). However, we have been unable to locate those
`documents or communications in Defendants’ productions.
`
`Please identify by Bates number the additional documents identified above relating to the
` License Agreement, including the documents described by Mr. Manson and
