## Opinion text

DEL SOLE, P.J.,
Concurring:
¶ 11 join the Majority in concluding that the issue is appealable and that the trial court erred in concluding that Appellees met their burden to establish the need for the relief sought.
¶ 2 I would not reach the issue of privilege since it is not necessary to resolve this matter.
