| 12/03/2018 | 256 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Telephonic status hearing held. Discussion was held on Plaintiff’s motion for production of BANA loan data for loans originated after 1/1/04 and no longer serviced by BANA as of 12/31/08. If the Court orders production of this data, Plaintiff will be required to assume 60% of the cost of production. BANA has submitted an affidavit that the cost of production will be between $164,010 and $213,213. Plaintiff’s counsel needs to consult with his client. Plaintiff may need to take a deposition about the contents of the data. BANA has already produced data on 25,000 loans. These are all loans, regardless of origination date, that were serviced after 1/1/09. Parties are to confer and determine if they can stipulate that they treat the data on the 25,000 loans as a sample to be used for regression analysis for liability purposes. If there is a finding of liability, the data from 2004-2008 could be produced, at defendant’s expense, for purposes of increasing damages. By 12/7/18, parties are to advise the Court of when the next status will be productive. Mailed notice. (dm, ) (Entered: 12/03/2018) |

| 12/10/2018 | 259 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: The Court has reviewed the parties’ Joint Status Report 257 and sets the next telephonic status hearing for 12/17/18 at 11:00am. Counsel shall call the Court’s teleconference line: 866-434-5269, access code 3751971. Mailed notice. (dm, ) (Entered: 12/10/2018) |
| 12/17/2018 | 260 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Telephonic status hearing held. The parties reported on their discussions regarding Plaintiff’s motion for production of BANA loan data for loans originated after 1/1/04 and no longer serviced by BANA as of 12/31/08. Bank of America has decided that it will not stipulate to treating the already-produced data on the 28,000 loans as a sample to be used for regression analysis for liability purposes. Counsel for Bank of America reported that after further review, Bank of America determined that the 1/1/04 – 12/31/08 data might be very different from the data on the 28,000 loans already produced and might impact liability. This Court previously understood that the 1/1/04 – 12/31/08 data would likely be substantially similar to the already-produced data and therefore could be produced at a later date, if needed, for damages. Therefore the Court grants Plaintiff’s motion for production of BANA loan data for loans originated after 1/1/04 and no longer serviced by BANA as of 12/31/08, and vacates its prior ruling that Plaintiff must assume 60% of the cost of production. (see Dkt. 256). The parties should continue to confer about the most efficient and cost-effective approach to producing this data. The Court encouraged the parties to have a meet-and-confer with their experts to facilitate this process and possibly avoid a 30(b)(6) deposition. At the next status hearing, parties should be prepared to report on the status of this data production as well as on the progress of other discovery in the case. Status hearing set for 1/23/19 at 11:00 am CST. Mailed notice. (dm, ) (Entered: 12/17/2018) |

Counsel shall call the Court’s teleconference line: 866-434-5269, access code 3751971. By 3/4/19 defendants are to update the previously produced data. To the extent the PIN numbers and the foreclosure docket numbers are available, that information should be included. On 1/22/19, the County sent defendants an email asking about missing data from this data set. To the extent this data is available, it must be included in the 3/4/19 production. If defendants do not have this data, defendants must certify that they have searched for it and they do not have it. If they are withholding it, they must certify they are withholding it and provide a basis for their decision to withhold. The data updated by 3/4/19 contains loans originated by Bank of North America (BANA) and Countrywide. By 4/12/19 the County shall produce damages information for the loans originated with Countrywide. That will require the County to (1) identify the properties the County believes are at issue, (2) produce the Circuit Court of Cook County foreclosure docket for those properties; and (3) identify the damages for those properties. The County shall identify those Countrywide properties where any of the specified Department of Building and Zoning damages were incurred. (See Plaintiff’s First Amended Rule 26(a) Disclosures at 4). Finally, by 4/12/19 the County shall identify an average damage incurred by the Cook County Recorder of Deeds, the Cook County Circuit Court, Chancery Division, the Office of the Chief Judge and the Sheriff’s Office for the Countrywide properties. (Id.) The Court will permit 20 depositions per side in this case. Every 7 hours of a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition shall count as one deposition. Plaintiff is given until 2/20/19 to brief whether the Requests to Admit are proper. Defendants’ response is due 3/8/19. Any reply is due 3/15/19. At the next status the parties should report on (1) whether the data is fulsome enough to allow for arguments by both sides that discrimination happened (or plaintiffs have failed to prove same) at the loan level and the foreclosure level; (2) the status of data for loans between 2004 and 2008 no longer being serviced in 2009; (3) word search and email production; and (4) the time needed for damages discovery and depositions assuming the remaining banks’ data will be produced by July/August.

| 02/27/2019 | 273 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Status hearing held and continued to 4/17/19 at 10:00 am CST. The Court ruled on the issues presented in the parties’ joint status report (Dkt. 272) as follows. (I.) Each side may serve no more than 60 interrogatories. The Court will not limit the number of document requests each side may serve at this time. (II.) Defendants are allowed to depose Ms. Linda Batchelor in March if they choose, however, Defendants will not be allowed to re-depose Ms. Batchelor as an individual at a later date. (III.) The issue related to discriminatory originations/foreclosures was discussed on the record and a ruling from the Court was not needed. (IV.) With regard to the 2004 through 2008 data, the Court reserved ruling on the issue as it relates to the ACAPS origination system until parties engage in a further meet-and-confer. Defendants must provide Plaintiff with more information about ACAPS database by 3/12/19 and parties should have a meet-and-confer by 3/19/19. The Court denied Plaintiff’s request for the AFS system data because Defendants established that the data in that system is likely to have limited if any relevance to this case and the burden of producing it is not justified. (V.) The Court adopts Defendants’ proposed schedule, which amends relevant dates in this Court’s prior order (Dkt. 253). Defendants’ Production of Data on Loans Originated by BANA Between 2004 and 2008, but no longer serviced as of January 1, 2009 is due August 1, 2019.

Parties reported that they are working out word searches and email production. Plaintiff’s motion for protective order 270 is under advisement and the previously-set briefing schedule stands (see Dkt. 264). The Court will rule by mail or set the motion for a telephonic ruling. By 3/15/19, Plaintiff must produce organizational charts of County offices to Defendants. At the status hearing on 4/17/19, parties are permitted to attend telephonically by calling the Court’s teleconference line: 866-434-5269, access code 3751971. Mailed notice.

| 04/30/2019 | 289 | ORDER : Plaintiff’s Motion for Protective Order 270 is GRANTED in part, DENIED in part. Signed by the Honorable Mary M. Rowland on 4/30/2019. (See Order for further details.) Mailed notice(dm, ) (Entered: 04/30/2019) |
| 05/01/2019 | 290 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Status and motion hearing held. Next status set for 6/26/19 at 10:00 AM. Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Loan Data and for Extension of Time 279 is withdrawn without prejudice to refiling at a later date based upon an agreement reached by the parties. Parties have agreed as follows: (1) the County has produced a list of loans originated by Countrywide where discrimination in origination took place; (2) by 5/14/19 the County will produce the Countrywide loans where discrimination allegedly took place in the servicing of loans; and (3) by 5/21/19 the County will produce the dockets for the aforementioned loans and data concerning the average costs per County department/office to effectuate a foreclosure/eviction on a discriminatory loan. The County departments/offices forming the basis of the average costs of foreclosures are the Office of the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County, the Cook County Sheriff’s Office and the Office of the Clerk of the Court for the Cook County Circuit Court. The County is producing these lists of discriminatory loans with the following caveat: it believes that it is missing the interest rate on approximately 3,000 Countrywide loans. The parties will confer on that issue. These loans may ultimately need to be supplemented into the loans that the County contends were subject to discrimination in origination and/or servicing. The Court largely denied the County’s Motion for Protective Order concerning Requests to Admit. 270 Responses to those Requests to Admit are due by 5/31/19. Finally, Defendants are attempting to discovery organizational charts to the County departments at issue. The county should work from Defendants’ 2/6/19 letter as the operative RFP. The County needs to identify the dates of the charts produced, identify what department each chart represents, identify the person in each department who produced the specific chart, and confirm that the County has produced all charts requested. Defendants’ request for a phone log of all County employee for all years going back to 2004 is denied. But the County is required to work with the Defendants to clarity this organizational chart issue. This is a straightforward and relevant request. The organizational charts should be produced and identified by 5/24/19. The parties’ next status with the district court is 8/5/19, 238 , therefore this Court set a status in June. Fact discovery remains set to close 10/17/19. 273 . At the status hearing on 6/26/19, parties are permitted to attend telephonically by calling the Court’s teleconference line: 866-434-5269, access code 3751971. Mailed notice.

| 07/12/2019 | 313 | STATUS Report by BAC Home Loans Servicing LP, Bank of America Corporation, Bank of America N.A., Countrywide Bank FSB, Countrywide Financial Corporation, Countrywide Home Loans Inc., Countrywide Warehouse Lending LLC, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., Merrill Lynch Mortgage Captial Inc., Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit 1, # 2 Exhibit 2, # 3 Exhibit 3, # 4 Exhibit 4)(Hayden, Courtney) (Entered: 07/12/2019) |
| 07/16/2019 | 314 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: In order to streamline the status hearing, the court orders that by 8/31/19 the County shall produce: “drill down” budget documents associated with Countrywide loans; the contracts governing the foreclosure mediation project and fees paid to the Clerk’s office, Sheriff’s Office and Chief Judge’s Office. By 8/31/19 the County shall also respond to respond to interrogatories 19-20 and 23-24. By agreement of the parties, the County must produce all physical documents responsive to Requests for Production 49-50 and 57 by 9/15/19 and must produce all documents responsive to Requests for Production 75 by 8/15/19. Finally, Plaintiff seeks Compliance and Control documents and Board Minutes. (Document Requests 24-39 and 55). The parties are disputing whether the current requests are new requests or modification of earlier served requests. See Dkt. 142. Defendants’ response to these newly served requests is due 8/2/19. Status set for 7/16/19 remains set. Mailed notice. (dm, ) (Entered: 07/16/2019) |
| 07/16/2019 | 315 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Status hearing held. Defendants request the Court to review in camera 16 items contained on the privilege log pertaining to pre-retention communication between counsel and the County. As the earliest date of these communications is 6/6/12, the Court sees no relevance of these materials to defendants’ statute of limitations defense and denies the request. The County has logged all pre 8/27/13 communications between counsel from a private law firm appointed as Special Assistant State’s Attorneys and the County. At the completion of ESI production, the County will log the same such communication (pre-8/27/13) between those attorneys who work for the State’s Attorneys’ office itself and the offices of the County at issue in this case. Parties are to meet and confer about the county’s RFPs regarding Reporting Relationships, Marketing Practices, Self-Tests and Self-Evaluations and Brokerage Servicing Agreements. (RFPs 3, 16-20, 35, 37-42). If the parties cannot resolve these issues prior to the next status, Plaintiff should notice the matter before the Court. In docket entry 314 the Court ordered the County to produce “fees paid to the Clerk’s office, Sheriff’s Office and Chief Judge’s Office” by 8/31/19. This portion of the Order is vacated. The County has identified 18,000 Countrywide loans that went into foreclosure that the County believes were discriminatory. Defendants assert they are not responsible for thousands of these loans. By 7/19/19 the County shall describe in writing how it generated the list of 18,000 loans. By 8/9/19 defendants shall indicate in writing the loans it is not responsible for and under what theory. As to fees paid, the County shall determine the burden to the Clerk’s office, the Sheriff’s office, the Chief Judge’s office and the Recorder’s office to determine the fees paid on each of the 18,000 loans identified. Final requests for production shall be served by 9/16/19. Parties should contact the Court to set a status and should be prepared to suggest a substantial completion of production of written discovery date. Parties should confer with counsel in the other two pending cases to inquire whether some coordination of depositions will lead to efficiencies. Mailed notice. (dm, ) (Entered: 07/16/2019) |

| 01/06/2020 | 428 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Cook County, Office of the Chief Judge, and Clerk of the Circuit Court’s motion 378 and Cook County Sheriff’s Office motion 376 for a protective order is granted in part and denied in part. The Court finds that the moving parties have demonstrated good cause and the need for additional time to produce ESI as a result of the Court’s prior order. While the Court believes that some of these ESI issues could have been dealt with and addressed earlier in the case, the Court understands that ESI production did not occur in earnest until the Court’s rulings on the matter, and as a result of the moving parties’ investigation into the time and burdens associated with ESI, they have now brought their motions with sufficient information to satisfy the good cause standards in Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b) to modify the deadline for document production. The moving parties have proposed a modified time-frame for the production of ESI and, in accordance with that schedule, the Court orders the following: The County’s ESI production, with the exception of the Special Legal Counsel to the President, shall be completed by January 31, 2020; the Chief Judge’s Office’s production, to the extent not already completed, shall be completed by January 10, 2020; the State’s Attorney’s Office production shall be completed by February 7, 2020; the Sheriff’s Office production shall be completed by February 28, 2020; the Special Legal Counsel to the President shall complete production by February 28, 2020. In order to ensure that defendants have sufficient time to review materials that are being produced at the end of February before they take the relevant depositions, the Court will extend the fact discovery deadline, reluctantly, by one month. All depositions and fact discovery shall now close on April 30, 2020. The parties must continue to take depositions, however, starting in January 2020 and not delay the scheduling of those depositions unnecessarily. Further, the parties are directed to meet and confer by 1/10/20 on the dispute concerning modified search terms and resolve those matters without judicial intervention. The remainder of the motions and requested relief in the defendants’ response are denied. Mailed notice (lxs, ) (Entered: 01/06/2020) |

Specifically, defense counsel’s phone calls with the nine confidential witnesses will be transcribed by a court reporter.

Counsel for both sides further agreed that defense counsel will provide Plaintiff’s counsel with a list of five potential new independent attorneys for the former employees by 2/26/2020 and Plaintiff will select one of the five attorneys as counsel for all nine confidential witnesses. If Plaintiff objects to all five proposed new attorneys, Plaintiff’s counsel shall contact this Court’s courtroom deputy to schedule a status hearing.
