Often the defendant's lawyer will try and deceive the pro se’ litigant into waiving their rights by saying “you are not an attorney, and “therefore cannot invoke work-product privileges”.

Rptr.3d 422] (Meza) The privilege may also be asserted by a pro se’ litigant because the privilege is intended for the protection of litigants, not just attorneys; Dowden v. Superior Court (1999) 73 Cal. App.4th 126, 134 [86 Cal. Rptr. 2d 180] In

A party seeking interlocutory review has the burden of persuading the court that exceptional circumstances justify a departure from the basic policy of postponing appellate review until after the entry of a final judgment. Fisons Limited v. United States, 458 F.2d 1241, 1248 (7th Cir. 1972). The decision whether to allow an immediate interlocutory appeal of a non-final order under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) is within the discretion of the district court. Swint v. Chambers County Com'n, 115 S.Ct. 1203, 1210 (1995). When the statutory criterion is met, it is the duty of the district court and the Seventh Circuit to allow an immediate appeal to be taken. Ahrenholz v. Board of Trustees of the Univ. of Ill., 219 F.3d 674,677 (7th Cir. 2000). Section 1292(b) provides that a
