	06-1070 -- In Re Qwest Communications International Inc. -- 06/19/2006
		Qwest further submits that appellate review after judgment would be meaningless because there are numerous other cases pending across the country in which coordinated discovery agreements would require it to disclose the Waiver Documents to other plaintiffs if it discloses them to the Plaintiffs in the Securities Case.
		Qwest also contends the key point distinguishing this case from the majority of the cases rejecting selective waiver is the fact that Qwest entered into confidentiality agreements with the agencies prior to disclosing the Waiver Documents.
		Qwest's confidentiality agreements provided that the agencies would not assert that production of the Waiver Documents constituted a waiver, as to a third party, of the attorney-client privilege, the work-product doctrine, or any other applicable privilege.
