OPINION AND ORDER In compliance with the court’s order dated January 7, 2020, [Dkt. 52], Defendant submitted its privilege log and unredacted copies of the documents listed therein for in camera review. The court has conducted that review and finds that, except for references to reserves, all redactions are appropriate. The court finds that, although reserve amounts may not be admissible,1 the amounts are not properly withheld from discovery. Defendant is therefore required to produce the following pages with the reserve amounts disclosed: 219; 2358; 2362; 2371; 2374; 2378; 2392; 2404. SO ORDERED this 31st day of January, 2020. 1 Cases cited in the privilege log deal with admissibility of reserve amounts, not discovery of the amounts. Since admissibility is being discussed it is obvious that the reserve amounts were discovered. See Higgins v. State Auto Property & Cas. Ins. Co., 2012 WL 2571278 at *4 (N.D. Okla. July 2, 2012).
