California Court of Appeal

In this employment discrimination suit, defendant-employer's petition for a writ of mandate challenging a trial court order to disclose documents relevant to plaintiff's job performance, is denied, where: 1) for the limited purposes ordered by the trial court, which included ascertaining whether the material was privileged, the court did not err in requiring defendant to disclose the documents to their attorneys; and 2) there is no meaningful distinction between an allegation of privilege as to a party's information and an allegation of privilege as to a third party's information.
