V. 	No. 2:24-cv-108-DPM
PLAINTIFF

Individual and official 	capacity; 	and
THE CITY 	OF 	WEST MEMPHIS
ORDER
DEFENDANTS
The 	parties have 	a 	discovery dispute. 	Prosecuting Attorney 	Sonia
Hagood 	doesn't 	have 	to 	answer 	Walker's 	questions 	about who her
office 	is 	investigating. 	At 	her 	deposition, 	Hagood 	declined 	to 	answer
any 	questions 	about 	investigations 	of 	Walker, 	Walker's lawyer, 	and
other 	individuals. 	After 	a 	brief exchange, 	she 	clarified 	she 	was
asserting 	the 	law 	enforcement 	privilege. 	United 	States 	v. 	Jean,
891 	F.3d 	712, 	715 	(8th 	Cir. 	2018). 	Hagood 	didn't 	waive 	the 	privilege.
She declined 	to 	answer 	and, 	after 	being pressed 	further, 	claimed 	the
privilege. 	Doc 	31, 	Ex. C, 	p. 	16. 	Walker hasn't 	made 	a 	sufficient 	showing
that 	the 	privilege 	should 	yield 	because 	of some 	particularized 	need 	in
this 	case. 	McKinney 	v. 	United 	States, 	2020 	WL 	7334411 	at 	*4
(D. 	Minn. 	2020). Hagood's 	objections 	are 	sustained. 	Joint 	report, 	Doc.
31, 	addressed.
