Opinion:
WRIT DENIED: There is no error in the ruling complained of. An in camera inspection by the trial court to determine whether or not an attorney's file contains discoverable material is not a violation of C.C.P. art. 1422 et seq. Also, see McHugh v. Chastant, 503 So.2d 791 (La.App. 3rd Cir.1987).
