1Opinion of the Court
POLITZ, Circuit Judge:
Excel Corporation appeals an order requiring its counsel to submit to deposition. Excel contends that it did not waive the attorney-client privilege; that if it waived the privilege, its executives rather than its counsel should be deposed about the previously privileged matters; and that if its counsel should be deposed, the scope of the questions authorized by the district court is too broad. For the reasons assigned we affirm the order requiring defense counsel to submit to depositions, subject to the modification of the scope as set forth herein.
