Donald B. Ayer, U.S. Atty., Sacramento, Cal., Holly Abery-Wetstone, William A. Whitledge, James P. Springer, Glenn L. Archer, Jr., Washington, D.C., Ted Cassman, Ephraim Margolin, San Francisco, Cal., for United States.

Before GOODWIN, FERGUSON and CANBY, Circuit Judges.


PER CURIAM:

The government issued subpoenas duces tecum to two attorneys representing targets of a grand jury investigation. The attorneys appeal from a district court order finding them in contempt for their refusal to provide certain documents relating to their employment by the targets. We find that the subpoenas may intrude into areas protected by the attorney-client privilege and we are accordingly obliged to partially modify the judgment of contempt.
