PRESIDING JUSTICE LINN
delivered the opinion of the court:
Thomas E Tobin, a defense attorney for Syntex Laboratories, Inc. (Syntex), brings this appeal challenging the propriety of a trial court’s order finding him in contempt of court. The contempt citation was issued in connection with a product liability action instituted by several plaintiffs against Syntex. Tobin was found to be in contempt of court after he notified the trial court that he would not comply with the court’s order barring him from engaging in private, ex parte 1 conferences with the plaintiffs’ treating physicians.
