MEMORANDUM
This material is confidential. Please do not copy the memorandum, take it outside of the suite in
which you are conducting your review, or discuss this project outside of the review suite.
CASE BACKGROUND
Starting in 2000, Khatri & Co. sold the drug Mock in the U.S. and is approved by FDA f or reducing
blood loss during on- pump coronary artery bypass graf t surgery (CABG). Surgeons also used Mock
of f - label. This means it was used during surgeries f or which the FDA had not approved its use. A
number of common of f - label uses f or Mock were: of f - pump CABG surgery; heart- valve repair or
replacement.
In March 2018, Khatri & Co. took Mock of f the market f ollowing the preliminary results of a study
that questioned the safety of the drug. Although many cardiac surgeons still think the drug is safe
and ef fective, because of the preliminary safety concerns, Khatri &Co. no longer markets the drug.
This case was filed in the District US on April 2017. The Petitioner Jack Jones, worked in Khatri &
Co.’s market research department. He has two basic types of claims:
(1) Khatri & Co. allegedly paid unlawf ul Bribes to healthcare providers to prescribe Mock.
(2) Khatri & Co. allegedly caused healthcare providers to use Mock of f - label when it was not
“reasonable and necessary” to do so.

Issue
Key - The “Key” code should be used f or documents you believe may be particularly critical
to our understanding of the issues in this case
Review Coding
Please begin by coding the document f or its basic identifiers based on the f ollowing codes:
a) Responsive: Designate the document “Responsive” if it is related to Mock or any of the
claims or defenses in this Case.
b) Non-responsive: Designate the document “Non- responsive” if it is not related to any of the
issues in this Case.
c) Foreign Language: If a document is written in a f oreign language, code the document as
“Foreign Language” and move on. Even if you are able to read the document (e.g., because you are
fluent in the relevant language or because the document is f acially similar to another document in
English), do not attempt to review or code the document.
Privilege Coding
A critical f unction of this document review is to identif y any Responsive documents that may be
potentially privileged because they are subject to the attorney- client privilege and/or the work
product doctrine. All Responsive documents must be reviewed f or privilege. Select this choice if a
document contains any At t orney-Client Communicat ion (The attorney- client privilege protects
f rom disclosure confidential communications between an attorney and a client made f or purposes
of seeking or rendering legal advice) or if a document contains any At t orney Work Product (The
work- product doctrine protects against the disclosure of documents and tangible things prepared in
anticipation of litigation or f or trial by a party, its attorney, or its other agent).
Where we cannot tell f rom the f ace of the document or surrounding context, we will typically err on
the side of marking a document privileged.
