- In an action by freestanding emergency care clinics challenging the constitutionality of O.C.G.A. § 31-7-1 et seq. (regulation of hospitals, etc.) on the ground that the statute's exemption for private physicians' offices violated the plaintiffs' equal protection rights, a subpoena of documents from the Georgia Hospital Association, relating to lobbying efforts in support of the legislation, was quashed as the documents were irrelevant to the question the court had to decide, that is, whether there was any conceivable purpose which may have justified the statute.
