Brent A. Dodgen v. Kaitlyn P. Grijalva

Summary

The Court approved the denial of certiorari relief from a discovery order requiring disclosure of the financial relationship between a defendant’s nonparty insurer and defense experts. It held that the prior decision concerning attorney-client privilege and plaintiff-side treating physicians did not clearly establish a rule protecting defense-side insurer-expert relationships from discovery. The Court also rejected challenges to its jurisdiction and concluded that the discovery order was consistent with established law.
