The summons for specific discovery was dismissed because the documents sought were, on the evidence and ordinary inference, without prejudice settlement communications and internal memoranda protected by privilege (Rush & Tomkins), and no basis was shown to lift that privilege or to identify unprivileged open correspondence; accordingly the court will not compel discovery of those materials though the plaintiff must file a supplemental list of documents referring to the privileged materials and verify it by affidavit within 14 days.
