COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT/APPELLANT
LIMITED REHEARING GRANTED
SEPTEMBER 11, 2019
On application for rehearing, Timothy Jarquin, Appellee, seeks amendment
of this Court’s August 21, 2019 opinion. Appellant, Pontchartrain Partners, L.L.C,
had appealed the district court’s December 27, 2018 judgment denying its motion
to quash, arguing that Appellee, who had filed a subpoena duces tecum, was
seeking information protected by the attorney-client privilege. On appeal, this
Court vacated the district court’s judgment and remanded for additional analysis of
the attorney-client privilege claim.
We grant Appellee’s application for rehearing for the limited purpose of
clarifying that our prior opinion vacating the judgment is directed only to that
portion of the judgment denying the motion to quash despite an arguable claim of
attorney-client privilege to the information sought. In all other respects, the
original judgment shall stand, as Appellant did not raise any other claims on appeal
apart from privilege.
