Subject: RE: Tekiner - Various; Meet and Confer
Importance: Normal
Sensitivity: None
Michele,
I was traveling today, so please excuse the late in the day email. We will agree to stipulate to your proposed amendment to
Zeynep’s complaint as reflected in the markup you sent me on November 11, provided that you confirm that, as we
discussed, there are no new facts being alleged in the proposed amendment that will necessitate any additional discovery
beyond that already completed or currently contemplated.
As to the efforts to locate responsive documents from Gonca, Gonca’s iPhone, iPad and her office computer’s hard drive were
imaged. As we previously advised, Gonca also previously used an iPod Touch, and that device was discarded in 2020. All
existing iCloud backups for her Apple devices were also searched for and collected. Text messages and messages from social
media or messaging apps, as well as all entries on the “Notes” app on her devices, have been reviewed for responsiveness.
No responsive journal entries were located, either on those devices or on paper. As she testified, Gonca does possess paper
journals from when she was younger, before the relevant time period.
Finally, let me know if you are available at 11am ET on Monday to meet and confer regarding the October 18, 2022 Amended
Privilege Log. The short answer to your question is that we reviewed each of the entries on the original log, and those on the
amended log remain privileged.

Subject: RE: Tekiner - Various; Meet and Confer
Bryan. This is a reminder that you promised to get back to me by tomorrow as to (i) whether you will stipulate to my
amending Zeynep’s complaint to add the proposed additional cause of action against Gonca for aiding and abetting breach of
fiduciary duty; and (ii) what, if anything, you have determined with regard to efforts to locate relevant entries from Gonca’s
journals, including without limitation, which of Gonca’s devices have been imaged, what data was searched for on those
devices, whether there may be journal entries on those devices and/or on paper, and other matters we discussed during our
November 14, 2022 meet and confer. Depending on your answers regarding the journal entries, we may or may not need to
have further discussions.
Also, I need to meet and confer with you regarding the 2022.10.18 Amended Defendants NRF and BBG privilege log.
Specifically, I want to discuss why you continue to designate all documents on the log as privileged -- other than those that
relate to the instant litigation, which I agree are likely privileged.
