During her trial testimony, Johnson of the SCHRC reported Quigley had
received counseling services at Siouxland for depression caused by the sexual
harassment. This testimony was elicited by Winter’s attorney during cross-
examination. Winter then sought to introduce Nolan’s testimony to prove Quigley did
not report sexual harassment to Nolan and lied to Johnson when she said she had.
Quigley objected to Nolan testifying, arguing Nolan’s testimony would violate the
psychiatrist-patient or physician-client privilege. The district court heard Nolan’s
proposed testimony outside the presence of the jury. The district court determined
Nolan’s testimony was inadmissible because Winter failed to prove Quigley did not
tell anyone at Siouxland about the sexual harassment. We find no abuse of discretion
in the district court’s exclusion of Quigley’s medical records and Nolan’s testimony.
