Heading: Scope Protected Documents

Text: [¶ 20.] WPPO asserts that certain documents are privileged and cannot be released. It also asserts that releasing certain other documents would be a violation of federal antitrust laws. While the writ does not specifically restrict Petitioners' right to inspect specific documents, the hearing transcript indicates that Petitioners are not asking for disclosure of documents in violation of federal law nor are they asking for release of privileged documents. At the hearing, Petitioners requested only a log of the privileged documents. We interpret the court order to be in accord with the stipulations and agreements of the parties at the hearing. Consequently, WPPO only needs to produce a log of the privileged documents and a log of documents or portions of documents which are protected by the anti-competitive and antitrust laws.
