Summary

The court held that the civil discovery procedure governing privilege logs, rather than the more demanding criminal-case framework, controls a request for in camera review of allegedly privileged documents in a dependency and neglect proceeding.

The rule to show cause was discharged and the matter was remanded for further proceedings consistent with the opinion.
