OPINION

RYLAARSDAM, Acting P.J.

The primary question presented is whether, by sending letters containing work product to auditors for petitioner Laguna Beach County Water District (defendant), defendant's lawyer waived the right to assert attorney work product protection. Because this disclosure did not contravene the purpose of the work product doctrine, there was no waiver, and defendant is not required to produce the letters.
