Wardleigh V. Second Judicial District Court

In this original proceeding in mandamus, petitioners Rose Wardleigh and Kevin Sigstad seek a writ of mandamus or prohibition directing respondent district court to vacate a pretrial discovery order permitting discovery of certain minutes and legal files, and to prevent an attorney deposition. Because real parties in interest have not shown undue hardship as required to circumvent the work product doctrine, the district court erred in ordering the discovery of certain legal files and in allowing the attorney's deposition. Therefore, writ relief is warranted.
