U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals: Other States Cases

 

In re: Powerhouse v. (March 2, 2006) (Appeal from E.D. Michigan)
-  http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/06a0082p-06.pdf
-  Petitioners consist of individuals and corporate entities who are defendants in a diversity action currently pending in the Eastern District of Michigan. In that suit, plaintiff Venice Renaissance, LLC, alleges that petitioners participated in fraudulent asset transfers in order to avoid paying a $1 million judgment rendered by a California court. In the course of the litigation below, Venice Renaissance sought to take the deposition of an attorney involved in structuring the disputed transactions. Over the objection of petitioners, the district court ordered that the deposition proceed; further, it ordered that documents, which petitioners claim are privileged, be produced in conjunction with that deposition. This petition for a writ of mandamus asks us to vacate the order of the district court. For the reasons that follow, we deny the petition.
