With regard to the Hinman email, the SEC’s motion for a partial reconsideration was declined, and a motion for clarification was made. Magistrate Judge Netburn ruled that the Hinman documents were not protected by the DPP, but then allowed the SEC to identify any of the documents that the SEC claimed were protected by attorney-client privilege. The SEC filed a motion claiming that all documents were protected by attorney-client privilege, which was denied by Judge Netburn.
The SEC’s opposition to Magistrate Netburn’s ruling is today, July 26, a big date.
Ripple defendants have until August 9 to file their response to the SEC objections. District Judge Torres is allowing the SEC to file a short answer, which is due no later than Aug. The matter will then be thoroughly briefed and decided by Judge Torres.
