MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
On March 16, 2007, the Parties to this action filed a Joint Submission Concerning Privilege Issues, seeking to resolve a discovery dispute relative to approximately 50 documents, agreed to be relevant. Plaintiff, the Robbins Company, has withheld said documents on the basis of attorney-client privilege, attorney work product, and/or joint defense/joint prosecution/common interest privilege. The Parties have asked the Court to conduct an in camera review to determine whether the documents are protected from production. Having reviewed all of the documents at issue, the Court finds that the following documents, or portions of documents, are protected by the work product doctrine or are otherwise privileged and need not be turned over to Defendant. Any documents not listed must be turned over to Defendant.
