J. Beckerman grants the estate's motion to compel the Department of Human Services to produce documents in the estate's complaint that DHS placed the child in a home where the foster parent did not properly administer the medication for the child's congenital heart defect and did not take him to a cardiac rehabilitation appointment, resulting in the child's death. DHS is to produce all tort claim notices about alleged abuse, neglect or deaths of foster children in District 1's custody from 2013 to the present, because the existence of persistent violations are relevant to a case involving the death of a foster child as the result of alleged neglect from his foster parent and the agency that placed him with the foster parent.

J. Major grants the children's motion for limited discovery concerning claims that San Diego County violated their father's civil rights by failing to prevent him from dying from pneumonia, malnutrition and dehydration while incarcerated. The county must produce surveillance video of decedent in the 72 hours leading up to his death. The children already have the names of the officers in the video, so protecting their identity is not an issue. The county has failed to explain why a protective order regarding the video would be insufficient to protect any contemplated harm.

J. 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.
