    The trial court did not err in denying a retired judges motion to quash a subpoena seeking his testimony and records regarding alleged ex parte communications with prosecuting attorneys during defendants trial since the judicial deliberative process privilege did not extend to alleged ex parte communications which may have tainted defendants trial. The court affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded.
