ORDER AND MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
BRODY, District Judge.
This case presents an issue of first impression in this Circuit, namely, whether the Internal Revenue Service may require an attorney to disclose the identity of a client from whom the attorney received more than $10,000 in cash without violating the Ghent’s constitutional rights, the attorney-client privilege, or the attorney’s ethical duty to keep client secrets confidential. The Court concludes that, under the special circumstances presented in this case, the information demanded by the IRS is privileged and need not be disclosed.
