•Paul was hurt in a car accident involving a vehicle driven by Dick. Paul brought a federal diversity suit against Dick on a negligence theory. After commencement of the action, Dick's lawyer, Ben, conducted an interview with an eyewitness to the accident, Carl. Ben wrote down those aspects of Carl's account of the accident that seemed most interesting to Ben. Paul's lawyer, after learning of this interview, submitted to Dick a Rule 34 Request for Production of Documents, requesting "any notes taken by Ben of any interviews with Carl." Dick and Ben refused to comply, so Paul made a motion to compel discovery. Should the court grant Paul's motion to compel production of the notes? If so, why?
