Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Ray partially grants the estate's motion to compel the county to produce documents in a civil rights and wrongful death action arising from the decedent's death while incarcerated at the Chatham County Detention Center. The documents include reports about the provider's provision of services at the detention center, doctors' review of the decedent's medical charts, an inmate mortality chart related to a different deceased inmate and inmate health compliance monitoring reports. The reports created by the doctor did not become attorney-client privileged information just because the county attorney received them. Two reports are also not protected from disclosure by the work product doctrine. However, the motion to compel the inmate healthcare provider to produce documents is partially denied because email communications between an employee and the provider's general counsel are protected by attorney-client privilege.
