AARON KIEFER vs K & A GLOBAL INVESTMENT, LLC
22STCV31598
Motion to Compel Privilege Log

Ruling:  Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Privilege Log is granted.  Defendant is to serve a sufficiently specific privilege log within 20 days of issuance of this order.  Moving part to give notice.

Rationale:  
This is an unopposed motion to compel an adequate privilege log.  "The information in a privilege log must be sufficiently specific to allow a determination of whether each of the withheld documents is or is not in fact privileged."  Wellpoint Health Networks, Inc. v. Superior Court (1997) 59 Cal.4th 110, 130.  Defendant's privilege log is missing information regarding authors and dates, and Defendant fails to explain the substance of at least one of their documents adequately.  (Cohen Decl para 7.)  As such, the Court grants the motion.
