Syllabus

Motion to compel discovery attorney-client privilege SERS report. Judgment affirmed. The trial court did not err in ordering the Cleveland Clinic to provide its SERS report to the plaintiff, who slipped and fell at the Clinic while visiting a family member. There is no indication in the record that the person who completed the SERS report did so in anticipation of litigation or was a risk manager or an employee of the Clinic's Office of General Counsel. Therefore, the Clinic has not satisfied its burden of proof that the SERS report is privileged.
