Filing 56
ORDER: The Court ordered Plaintiff to confirm that Defendants Diana McDonald and McDonald Law Group, LLC complied completely with the production ordered by the Court. (Dkt. #51 ) Plaintiff states that Defendants have not produced any bank statements past February 28, 2019; any communications with Seth Eschen, Giving Builders, National Financial Services, or AgTex Group, LLC; or any responsive text messages. (Dkt. #55 ) The Court orders these documents produced to Plaintiff by Friday, March 29, 2019. Plaintiff also challenges whether the documents withheld are protected by the attorney-client privilege. Plaintiff makes three arguments for why these communications may not be privileged: (1) Ms. McDonald was acting as an escrow agent and was not providing legal advice; (2) Ms. McDonald has not made any showing that these communications are protected; and (3) the crime-fraud exception may apply to these communications. Based on these reasons, the Court finds an in-camera review appropriate of the communications listed as privileged: (1) Skype message string: McDonald and Alivic representatives, 1/3/19-2/13/19; (2) Skype message string: McDonald and Alivic representatives, 1/3/19-3/8/19; (3) Email message string: McDonald and Alivic representatives, 1/3/19-2/24/19; (4) Email message: Alivic representative to McDonald, 6/6/18; (5) Alivic corporate billing invoice, 1/4/19. The Court orders these documents produced to the Court by Monday, April 8, 2019. Signed by Judge Michael L. Brown on 3/27/19. (jta)
