4. My best guess it means the judge will likely rule within a month. The three groups will likely be the way she will do it in rough cuts. Release all or most judicial docs, most in between and then spend her time on the ones remaining documents applying the objections.
5. And one last thing. She may put it all on a special master to sort out and then just issue orders on the master's report and recommendation. That could drag it out longer but judges are busy and masters are a way to move the work load off their desk.
