Civil - Unlimited  Business Tort Discovery Hearing 37-2022-00026467-CU-BT-CTL BEAGLE VS KAOHU [IMAGED] CAUSAL DOCUMENT/DATE FILED: Motion to Compel Discovery, 07/13/2023

The Motion (ROA # 94) of Plaintiffs Lori Beagle, Blake Rosser and Marilyn Fletcher ('Plaintiffs') for an order compelling Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP ('Procopio') to produce all responsive documents to Request Nos. 3 and 10 in the Deposition Subpoena for the Production of Business Records (the 'Subpoena'), is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART.

The Court has read and considered Plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint ('SAC' - ROA # 92) and the Answer by Nominal Defendant INVESTORS LEASING CORPORATION - ROA # 102.

Procopio's objections are, except as noted, SUSTAINED.

Procopio's objections to the minutes, including drafts, of any meeting of ILC's Board of Directors or shareholders are OVERRULED except as noted. This ruling does not prevent the assertion of a privilege on information contained within the minutes, including drafts; however, both the identity of the privilege and a sufficient description of the information must be reflected on a privilege log to enable Plaintiffs to evaluate the propriety of the assertion of the privilege.

Procopio is directed to produce the documents, along with a privilege log, if any, within twenty (20) days of the hearing of this Motion.

Procopio's request for sanctions is DENIED. Plaintiffs have not acted without substantial justification.
