| Citation: | Kilpatrick v. Breg, Inc., No. 08–10052–CIV, 2009 WL 1764829 (S.D. Fla. June 22, 2009) |
| Court Type: | Federal District |
| Court: | Southern District of Florida (S.D. Fla.) |
| Judge: | Federal Magistrate Judge: Andrea M. Simonton |
| Issues: | Plaintiff moved to compel production of electronically stored information, alleging Defendant’s production was incomplete. |
| Resolution: | Plaintiff’s motion to compel was granted in part. The Court allowed Plaintiff to hire an outside vendor at his own expense to search email archives and certain backup tapes for a limited amount of search terms, since there was evidence that Defendant knew about the chondrolysis issue several months before indicated in deposition testimony. However, the Court limited and balanced the discovery because Plaintiff’s surgery procedure was still over a year before any evidence of potential issues came to light. |
