Phelan v. City of Mount Rainier8/22/2002
ormation sought concerning complaints against Officer Thompson had already been disclosed through deposition; and that the information sought is privileged and exempt from production. To the extent that the information had been made available through sources other than the police complaint log book, including the officer's personnel file and deposition testimony, it would not be an abuse of discretion to deny its disclosure, particularly given the City's claim of privilege. The trial court concluded that the facts and circumstances did not warrant disclosure and that the information was irrelevant. While there might possibly have been some relevant information in the police complaint log book, the facts and circumstances of the case at that point made disclosure unnecessary. There had been sufficient discovery to obtain all the information as above described. It was within the trial court's discretion to limit disclosure under the circumstances. Therefore, we find no abuse of discretion in the trial court's decision.
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment appealed from hereby is
Affirmed.
