Capital Ventures Int?l v. J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corp., No. 12-10085-RWZ, 2014 WL 1431124 (D. Mass. Apr. 14, 2014)

Key Insight: Plaintiff’s request for all RMBS-related documents that defendants previously produced in other lawsuits or to “any congressional body, regulatory agency, law enforcement agency or person” was overbroad and of speculative relevance; court granted motion to compel but adopted defendants’ proposal to run agreed-upon search terms over their productions to the SEC and NY attorney general, deeming such method sufficient to capture materials relevant to pending action; court also extended relevant time period for electronic searches

Nature of Case: Claims under the Massachussetts Uniform Securities Act relating to residential mortgage-backed security (“RMBS”) offerings
