Unless an adversary's entire log clearly falls below the
required specificity standard, litigants generally must object to
specific log entries rather than challenge the whole log.
In United States v. Louisiana, Civ. A. No.
11-470-JWD-RLB, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 67026 (M.D. La. May 22,
2015), the federal government challenged defendant Louisiana state
agency's entire 2,302‑page log. The court disagreed with
the federal government's position that "each entry in the
privilege log is insufficient," and noted that the federal
government had provided only thirteen examples of arguably
"'insufficient descriptions.'" Id. at *6
(internal citation omitted). The court labeled as "an
unworkable solution" its review of each individual entry
— "as evidenced by the United States not undergoing this
analysis." Id. at *7. Instead, the court ordered the
federal government to cite forty specific entries "which are
exemplary of the entries it challenges as insufficient."
Id. at *10.
