| Court Type: | Federal District |
| Court: | Middle District of Florida (M.D. Fla.) |
| Judge: | Federal Magistrate Judge: Karla R. Spaulding |
| Issues: | Plaintiff filed a motion for sanctions, alleging Defendant failed to produce emails that contained sexually explicit material sent from a lieutenant’s computer. |
| Resolution: | The Court denied Plaintiff’s motion for sanctions. Defendant reassigned the computer and re-imaged the hard drive according to long-standing practice, and did so before Plaintiff served discovery requests or filed his complaint. The Court thus did not find bad faith in the disposition of the lieutenant’s computer. |
