This reminds me that we still have one box (I believe) of media from the original shipment, tapes and/or discs, that you’ve categorized as evidence (and can therefore give us for review and processing) – is that right? If so, can we get that tomorrow to send to a vendor for converting to viewable electronic versions?

thanks,



Thanks very much for letting us know, that’s extremely helpful and we appreciate it! Looking forward to being in touch as it continues, and thanks again.



Gentlemen:

I just wanted to give you a quick update.

We finished inventorying all 22 boxes and released everything to DocLab last evening for scanning. As of this writing we are looking good for meeting the original deadline – give or take a day. We still have a few things to tweak, but I’m confident that things are looking good and we’ll have this wrapped up within the next day or two. I’ll send you a more detailed email tomorrow morning when I get in.

Take care and have a good evening.

Thanks very much for the update – I think unless you guys can confirm that any prior scans were absolutely 100% done correctly (and separated by document, etc.), we’d prefer to have them just done in one full set now—particularly knowing that this will all be the subject of discovery, which definitely wouldn’t have been the case in 2013.

thanks again,



Happy 4th of July Eve. We just received 22 boxes about 5 minutes ago. We discovered that the Miami Field Office had requested DocLab to scan a number of them back in 2013. I’m hoping (fingers crossed) that the images are available on our internal network so that I can access them and just simply reprocess the digital output, if not we’ll re-prep and scan accordingly. We will keep you posted.

Take care and have a great holiday.

We're under time pressure but I think the most important thing is that your folks have the time you need to do the job in a way you're comfortable with—being able to scan each document separately, dealing with any random scraps of paper, post-its, etc etc. If doing the best possible job requires an extra few days that's totally understandable, especially given the holiday. Thanks again for the focus on it, and for following up.

I got the scan request thanks.

How much wiggle room can I get on the deadline we originally talked about of 7/10? I’m concerned that with the boxes going from 15 to 22 and now not showing up until sometime tomorrow and Thursday a holiday the $ 10^{th} $ is going to be extremely tight. Can I extend out at all to the $ 16^{th} $ ? If not I understand and we’ll work to make it work somehow.



My apologies, appartently with a Fedex pickup this size an appointment had to be setup. The pickup was scheduled for today and will arrive in VA tomorrow, tracking number 4744 7647 0418.

Quickly following up on this, can we confirm the boxes went out last week?

I just want to follow-up that the boxes were shipped. Fedex is not showing anything in-bound for us today.



The boxes will be shipped via Fedex this afternoon.
