ORDER denying (274) Motion for Protective Order in case 1:06-cv-01825-NGG-RER. The Court rejects Comverses argument that Mr. Terrells testimony is protected by the attorney work product doctrine and that he has no first hand knowledge concerning the allegations in the class action complaint. Relying in large part on In Re Leslie Fay Companies, Inc., 161 F.R.D. 274, 279-282 (S.D.N.Y. 1995), the Court finds that The Report of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Comverse Technology, Inc. (the Report) was not prepared primarily in anticipation of litigation, and therefore it, and Mr. Terrell's testimony concerning his participation in the investigation, is not protected by the work product doctrine. Similarly, and perhaps more importantly, Comverse waived the protection of the work product doctrine by voluntarily producing the Report, as well as the documents underlying the Special Committees investigation and the minutes of the Board Meetings at which the investigation was discussed. The Court also finds that Mr. Terrell, the Chair of the Special Committee, does have first hand knowledge concerning the Special Committees investigation of the options backdating scheme and improper accounting which are at the heart of this case. Any objections to particular questions posed at Mr. Terrells deposition, whether based on the work product doctrine or otherwise, may be raised with the Court during Mr. Terrells deposition. The parties are advised, however, to try to keep such disputes to a minimum. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Ramon E. Reyes, Jr on 5/7/2009. Associated Cases: 1:06-cv-01825-NGG-RER et al.

ORDER denying (275) Motion for Protective Order in case 1:06-cv-01825-NGG-RER. The Court rejects Comverses claim that AlixPartners testimony is precluded by FRCP 26(b)(4)(B). It is clear that AlixPartners was not retained primarily in anticipation of litigation. Rather, they were was retained to assist the Special Committee of the Board of Directors in investigating the options backdating scheme and improper accounting, a duty which Comverse had irrespective of anticipated litigation. Moreover, even if AlixPartners was retained primarily in anticipation of litigation, Comverse waived the protection of FRCP 26(b)(4)(B) by voluntarily producing the Report of the Special Committee, as well as the documents underlying the Special Committees investigation and the minutes of the Board Meetings at which the investigation was discussed.

ORDER granting in part and denying in part (311) Motion for Discovery in case 1:06-cv-01825-NGG-RER. Sorin's motion to partly lift the stay as to discovery of Deloitte is denied as Sorin has not established undue prejudice or good cause to lift the stay under the PSLRA. To clarify the stay, however, the Court notes that there is no stay of non-party discovery. Accordingly, Sorin is free to seek depositions of former Deloitte employees pursuant to FRCP 45. Further, should Deloitte's motion be denied, the Court will extend discovery beyond the current discovery cutoff of July 31, 2009 to permit Sorin to take discovery of Deloitte.
