Governmental privileges.
A.  If the law of the United States creates a governmental
privilege that the courts of this state must recognize under the
Constitution of the United States, the privilege may be claimed as
provided by the law of the United States.
B.  No other governmental privilege is recognized except as
created by the Constitution or statutes of this state.

C.  If a claim of governmental privilege is sustained and it
appears that a party is thereby deprived of material evidence, the
court shall make any further orders the interests of justice
require, including striking the testimony of a witness, declaring a
mistrial, finding upon an issue as to which the evidence is relevant
or dismissing the action.
