ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE EIGHTEEN
JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF IBERVILLE
PER CURIAM
Granted in part. Our jurisprudence establishes that “any exception to the
[healthcare provider-patient] privilege should be narrowly tailored and should extend
only to information necessary and relevant to the condition relied on as a defense or
claim.” Moss v. State, 2005-1963 (La. 4/4/06), 925 So.2d 1185, 1201. Accordingly,
it is ordered that defendants produce all responsive documents under seal to the
district court for an in camera review, at which time the district court shall determine
which documents, if any, are subject to production under the exception to the
healthcare provider-patient privilege set forth in La. Code Evid. art. 510(B)(2)(I). In
all other respects, the writ is denied.
