## Opinion text

ORDER
Original jurisdiction is assumed. Art. 7 § 4, Okla. Const. Let the writ issue prohibiting the respondent/judge, or any other assigned judge, from giving any effect to or enforcing his order in the underlying cause, No. CJ-97-3993-62, District Court, Oklahoma County, by which the petitioner was found to have waived the physician /patient privilege. See Higginbotham v. Jackson, 1994 OK 8 , 869 P.2d 319 . “The privilege is waived only to the extent of the condition claimed to have been caused by the negligence of the tortfeasor.” Nitzel v. Jackson, 1994 OK 49 , 879 P.2d 1222, 1223 . The respondent/judge’s ruling, which is tantamount to an order requiring the petitioner to execute an unrestricted medical release, is unenforceable. See Dobson v. Edwards, 1998 OK 62 , 958 P.2d 168 ; General Motors Acceptance Corp. v. Carpenter, 1978 OK 39, ¶ 10 , 576 P.2d 1166, 1168 .
All Justices Concur.
