1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 United States District Court For the Northern District of California 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 The Court has received the documents listed as items 3-6 and 14-21 on the Second Amended Privilege Log and finds as follows: Items 3-5 are confidential documents protected by the attorney-client privilege. The document listed as No. 6 in the privilege log is the fee agreement between Plaintiffs and Branton. The communication from Branton to his attorney does not contain a legal opinion nor does it seek legal advice, so the Court finds that Item 6 is not afforded the protection of the attorney-client privilege. Item 14 on the privilege log is not covered by the attorney-client privilege. Items 15-21 are privileged. The items that this Court has found not to be privileged must be delivered to Defendants vs. SEYFARTH SHAW LLP, et al., Defendants. / IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA RICHARD W.
