| Court Type: | Federal District |
| Court: | Middle District of Florida (M.D. Fla.) |

| Issues: | Defendant filed a motion for spoliation sanctions against Plaintiff after she had deleted emails and other communications months after producing the relevant documents per the court’s scheduling order. |
| Resolution: | The court denied the motion. The deletion of emails and other communication did not prejudice Defendant, since the plaintiff had produced the relevant documents months before per the court’s order. Further, Defendant did not delete the communication in bad faith. At best, the plaintiff was negligent in her deletion when she thought that the information was no longer pertinent. |
