| Type | Disposition by Order |
| Subtype | Denied |
| Description | Order Denying Petition for Writ - Certiorari ~ ORDERED that the petition for writ of certiorari is denied subject to the terms of this order.Petitioner sought certiorari review of an order compelling three categories of documents: 1) all retainer and/or fee agreements between petitioner’s counsel or law firms and petitioner or the decedent, noting that, “all materials provided shall be kept confidential pending a ruling on Plaintiff’s pending motion for confidentiality;” 2) all hourly billing rates that each attorney seeking a fee in the case has charged to clients, requested from any court, or been awarded any court in the last ten (10) years; and 3) all contemporaneous records including, but limited to, any calendars, minute books, diaries, or notes reflecting the work performed in this case by each attorney seeking a fee or reflecting the work they performed in other cases during the same time period as this case.The petition is denied with the following understanding of the extent of the order. Nothing in the trial court’s order precludes the petitioner from redacting attorney/client or work product privileged information from the materials compelled in paragraph 3 in accordance with the rules of procedure. This would include privileged information regarding other clients whose matters may be listed on a calendar. This court’s understanding that documents, such as calendars, reflecting work performed in other cases “during the same time period” means documents which show time worked on other cases during the same day as work performed on the present case. Finally, multiple firms performed work on this case for which compensation is being sought. This court’s understanding is that “all contemporaneous records . . . reflecting the work performed in other cases” may be satisfied by producing contemporaneously prepared time records which are part of a time-keeping system, if any of the firms involved keep such records, without the production of calendars, minute books, and diaries.WARNER, CIKLIN and ARTAU, JJ., concur. |
