RBC Aircraft Products Inc v. Precise Machining & Mfg LLC

Filing 108

ORDER re 78 SEALED MOTION Defendant's Second Motion to Compel filed by Precise Machining & Mfg LLC. Signed by Judge Stefan R. Underhill on 11/8/11. (Munoz, A.)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT

RBC AIRCRAFT PRODUCTS, INC.,
Plaintiff,
v.

No. 3:10CV878 (SRU)

PRECISE MACHINING &
MANUFACTURING LLC,
Defendant.
ORDER RE: DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO COMPEL
On August 16, 2011, I ordered plaintiff RBC Aircraft Products, Inc. (“RBC”) to produce
copies of withheld documents for the court to review in-camera. RBC had redacted these
documents to protect information they believed fell under attorney-client privilege. Defendant
Precise Machining & Manufacturing LLC (“Precise”) challenged RBC’s claim.

I have

reviewed the documents and find that all but one of RBC’s redactions protect privileged
information. The redactions in documents 1294, 1729, 1730, and 1731-1732 shield
communications between RBC and its attorneys. The redaction in document 1503, however,
does not. Because the redaction in 1503 does not fall under attorney-client privilege, RBC must
disclose the full document to Precise, unless RBC can provide a different reason for withholding
the information.
It is so ordered.
Dated at Bridgeport, Connecticut, this 8th day of November 2011.
