COMET TECHNOLOGIES USA INC., and others, Plaintiffs, v. XP POWER LLC, Defendant.
ORDER ON PRIVILEGE DISPUTE AFTER IN CAMERA REVIEW RE: ECF 66
NATHANAEL M. COUSINS United States Magistrate Judge
In ECF 66, the parties presented a discovery dispute in which Comet challenged certain privilege assertions made by XP. I ordered XP to lodge the disputed materials for in camera privilege review. ECF 79. On August 11, 2021, XP provided the three documents in redacted and unredacted form, along with a corresponding privilege log and declaration from Duncan Penny identifying the documents.
This order follows my in camera review of the documents. I determine that the attorney-client privilege was properly asserted as to each document. Furthermore, I am not persuaded that XP has waived privilege as to these communications. Accordingly, I deny Comet's motion to compel. No. costs or fees are awarded. The Court will file the in camera privileged materials under seal. This order is public and not sealed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
