Judge: Redactions about the privacy act. Email redactions are accepted by the judge in reference to the privacy act, will consider them in relation to the epstein act later

Judge: How will govt comply with the translations. Defs: Govt stands by their beliefs Judge: I'm trying to ensure compliance with the epstein act. Def: Plaintiffs lack standing to bring this case

Judge Trying to enforce compliance. When will they be translated and how many docs? Def: Unsure of the count Judge: You knew these questions were going to be discussed today

Judge: So there's nothing else to be added beyond what's been provided... Pending issues... Foreign language docs. Translation was to be performed and notice was to be provided that it was started.

Judge: What are you proposing Plaintiffs: def have not complied with existing orders. Sanctions would be in order. Interim step might be to describe steps being taken

Defendants: Not in a position to give a date Judge: You were told this would be discussed and I need an answer. If someone else can give it, give them a call. If you can't dco it, the court will dictate a date.

Judge: I'm trying to find a way besides me forcing a date. Defendants: Can't provide a date Plaintiffs: Defs have claimed all theyre going to publish is the summary again.

Judge noting how long it's been since the documents were released. Judge doesn't want to be arbitrary and just state a date it has to be done by. Wants a data from the govt

Judge reading from his order. Noting that the defendants claim there was no deadline to release the log Defendants: Going through the process to be published. Doesnt know where it is in the process or the timing. Judge: Give me a date Defendants: Dont know

Plaintiffs -- Notes are not totally duplicative. Should issue an order to release the redacted notes. Defendants -- Claiming the production of documents that was a huge effort. Claiming that the relief wanted by the plaintiffs will result in the release of victims names

Defendants asking what is the evidence that the court is seeking for them to provide/ what is the process that the court... Judge -- is there another way that they can show what redactions are required

Defendants claim the department determined that they were duplicative so they were outside... Judge is reiterating the order that the handwritten docs were to be released

Defendants talking about them being duplicative again. Huh??? Judge is asking if they don't have any other information in them beyond what was released. Defendants not sure Judge -- any other handwritten docs released? Defendants -- not sure

You are up to date.
