“Discovery can be burdensome even as it is inexpensive.”
Gordon v. T.G.R. Logistics, Inc., No. 16-cv-00238-NDF, 2017 WL 1947537 (D. Wy. May 10, 2017)
In this personal injury case, Defendant requested production of Plaintiff’s entire “Facebook account history” for her two accounts (and later limited the relevant timeframe of the request to information from three years prior to the accident through the present). In response, Plaintiff produced information that referenced the at-issue auto accident or her injuries and also provided information identified by a set of keywords set forth by Defendant. She objected to further production based on a lack of relevance, undue burden, and invasion of privacy. The court granted Defendant’s subsequent motion to compel, but imposed significant limits on the scope of production.
