OPINIONBY: MICHAEL H. DOLINGER

MEMORANDUM & ORDER

MICHAEL H. DOLINGER
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE:

The parties disagree as to the scope of the court's June 26, 2002 ruling, in which it
authorized plaintiff to withhold core attorney analytical work product.
Although perhaps inartfully phrased, our reference to "so-called core attorney
work product" as encompassing ""materials authored by an attorney" is
intended to include "the analytical work of the attorney in
evaluating the case", provided that it is segregable from the balance of
the document. The Ramseys are to make their production in accordance with this
clarification.

What this means - The Ramseys have to hand over some materials to the Post but NOT "work product" - investigative files - put together by the Ramsey attorneys or people working for them like Ollie Gray or any other investigators.
