April 21, 2010 Mr. Thomas Franklin Donaldson , Jr. Donaldson & Donaldson, PLC Post Office Box 949 Marion, AR 72364 Ms. Michelle Marie Kaemmerling & Mr. William Stuart Jackson Wright, Lindsey & Jennings - Little Rock 200 West Capitol Avenue Suite 2300 Little Rock, AR 72201-3699 Letter Order Re: Pegues et al. V. Southland Racing Corporation, 3:09CV00144-WRW. Dear Counsel: After reviewing your respective briefs -- which, as a matter of fact, are quite good (which I muchly appreciate) -- I believe that the information sought by Plaintiff's counsel should be protected by the attorney-client privilege, so Plaintiff's Oral Motion is denied. I immodestly rely in good part on Nuckles v. Wal-Mart, 2007 WL 1546092, at 2* (E.D. Ark. May 25, 2007), as well as Upjohn Co. V. United States, 449 U.S. 383 (1981) -- although I have carefully considered all the citations submitted by both sides.

Cordially, /s/ Wm. R. Wilson, Jr.

Original to the Clerk of the Court cc: Other Counsel of Record
