Order entered 25 October 1979 in Superior Court, Orange County. Heard in the Court of Appeals 15 May 1980.\nFrom September 1967 until January 1978 plaintiff distributed Carnation\u2019s bull semen in the States of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. These states constituted plaintiffs \u201cterritory.\u201d By 1977, plaintiff and defendant Carnation began having disputes over the exclusivity of plaintiff\u2019s distributorship in Virginia. On 19 January 1978, Carnation terminated \u201c ... all prior distribution arrangements written or oral with [plaintiff].\u201d\nPlaintiff sued defendants. Defendants answered, and on 3 July 1979 made a Request for Production of Documents. Plaintiff responded on 11 July 1979, stating that he would comply with defendant\u2019s request, with certain exceptions.\nOn 23 July 1979, defendants made a motion pursuant to G.S. 1A-1, Rule 37, to compel discovery. Judge Battle, on 25 October 1979, ordered plaintiff to produce his list of customers in Virginia, but stated that plaintiff was not required to produce his lists of North Carolina and South Carolina customers. Judge Battle stated that plaintiff was not required to produce notes of conversations that were made since litigation had begun and did not require plaintiff to produce those portions of his tax returns \u201c... which make no reference to Plaintiffs bull semen business .... \u201d Defendants appealed from the interlocutory order.\nPowe, Porter, Alphin & Whichard, by Charles R. Holton and Eugene F. Dauchert, for plaintiff appellee.\nSmith, Moore, Smith, Schell & Hunter, by Jack W. Floyd and Frank J. Sizemore III, for defendant appellants."
