GOOGLE LLC,
Defendant.
DEFENDANT GOOGLE LLC’S MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF
DOCUMENTS AND TESTIMONY WRONGLY WITHHELD AS PRIVILEGED
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37 and Local Civil Rule 37(A), Defendant,
Google LLC (“Google”), moves the Court to enter an order compelling Plaintiff United States to
produce documents and testimony wrongly withheld as privileged. The documents and
testimony are responsive to Google’s Request for Production No. 5, served on March 27, 2023.

listed in Exhibit 4 (Plaintiff’s privilege log) to assess Plaintiff’s privilege claims. Google further
seeks an order to modify Section V.8.e. of the ESI Order to require Plaintiff to log
communications between ATR and FAA counsel that predate January 24, 2023, and are
responsive to Google’s Fifth Request for Production or were part of the DOJ’s Investigative File.
The grounds and reasons for granting this motion are stated with particularity in the
accompanying memorandum of law and attached exhibits. A proposed order is submitted
herewith.Page 2 PageID#
