| Court Type: | Federal District |
| Court: | Middle District of Florida (M.D. Fla.) |
| Judge: | Federal Magistrate Judge: Howard T. Snyder |
| Rule(s): | Rule 26; Rule 34 |
| Issues: | Plaintiff filed a motion to compel, seeking production of certain documents and their production in a searchable format. Plaintiff also filed a motion for sanctions. |
| Resolution: | The Court granted in part and denied in part Plaintiff’s motion to compel. To the extent Plaintiff sought all communications between the general contractor and Defendant, the court held such a request was overbroad. However, the Court compelled production of documents reflecting potential insolvency on behalf of the general contractor as they were relevant and discoverable. Additionally, the Court compelled production of the documents in their native format, as Defendant’s transformation to TIFF images made the documents much more burdensome to search. The Court denied Plaintiff’s motion for sanctions. |
