1Opinion of the Court

RALPH K. WINTER, Jr., Circuit Judge:

The “John Doe Corporation” 1 appeals from a civil contempt judgment entered against it by Judge Sifton in the Eastern District of New York because of its failure to produce certain documents and to make available an employee for testimony before a grand jury. Doe Corp. has refused to comply in order to test on appeal its claims that the documents and testimony are protected by the attorney-client privilege and work-product immunity. We affirm.
