United States v. Aronson, 781 F.2d 1580 (11th Cir. 1986)

No. 85-5549

Non-Argument Calendar.

Feb. 14, 1986.

Joel Hirschhorn, P.A., Miami, Fla., for defendant-appellant.

Elizabeth Stein, Asst. U.S. Atty., Miami, Fla., Glenn L. Archer, Jr., Michael L. Paup, Chief, Appellate Sect., Charles E. Brook-hart, Nancy G. Morgan, Tax Div., Dept, of Justice, Washington, D.C., for plaintiffs-ap-pellees.

Before GODBOLD, Chief Judge, HILL and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Aronson argues on appeal that the district court erroneously concluded that the attorney-client privilege did not protect certain documents regarding the disposition of real estate and other property. We reject Aronson’s argument. The district court correctly held that such documents — which by their very nature contemplate disclosure to third parties and Aronson having failed to carry his burden of proving otherwise— are not within the scope of the attorney-client privilege, 610 F.Supp. 217 (S.D.Fla.1985). United States v. McDonald, 313 F.2d 832, 835 (2d Cir.1963). See also United States v. Pipkins, 528 F.2d 559, 563 (5th Cir.) (attorney-client privilege inapplicable to “information that the client intends his attorney to impart to others”), cert. denied, 426 U.S. 952, 96 S.Ct. 3177, 49 L.Ed.2d 1191 (1976).1

Aronson’s other arguments on appeal have no merit and warrant no discussion. The district court properly applied the law, and its findings of fact are not clearly erroneous.

AFFIRMED.
