Former Philadelphia Housing Authority Executive Director Carl Greene has lost his battle to stop potentially privileged legal bills from being turned over to HUD now that a federal circuit court ruled a PHA attorney’s word that there were no privileged invoice entries was good enough.
“Moreover, although Greene contends that the district court abused its discretion because it permitted review only by ‘parties with interests adverse to Mr. Greene’s,’ we rely constantly on parties with adverse interests to be honest in responding to discovery requests,” Judge Thomas I. Vanaskie of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit said for the three-judge panel in the nonprecedential ruling in Greene v. PHA .
