We prove a special case of a conjecture of Naito-Sagaki about a branching rule for the restriction of irreducible representations of \mathfraksl(2n,ℂ) to \mathfraksp(2n,ℂ). The conjecture is in terms of certain Littelmann paths, with the embedding given by the folding of the type A2n-1 Dynkin diagram. We propose and motivate an approach to the conjecture in general, in terms of Littlewood-Richardson Sundaram tableaux.
