1Opinion of the Court
BARRY TED MOSKOWITZ, United States Magistrate:
This case requires the court to decide whether, on the record before it, the predeposition communications between the defendant corporation’s former employee and the defendant’s attorney are discoverable. I conclude that the attorney-client privilege is inapplicable but that the communications of the defendant’s attorney to the defendant’s former employee are protected from disclosure under the attorney work-product immunity embodied in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(3).
