Episode 2: Fighting Tooth and Claw(back)

  2. Did plaintiff’s privilege review methodology take unfair advantage of the maximum protection provisions of Rule 502(d)?

Episode 1: Plaintive Movement

After the close of pleadings and amendments thereto, the Defendant also moved to voluntarily dismiss the counterclaim for defamation against the plaintiff, which would likely eliminate the plaintiff’s claim for sanctions related to lost or deleted relevant data. As such, plaintiff now objects to the defendant’s motion for dismissal of the defamation claim against him in order to preserve his motion for various sanctions.

  1. Should the plaintiff be compelled to produce all cell phones, including personal devices, for copy and inspection as requested by the defendant?

  2. Should defendant’s motion to dismiss defamation counterclaim against the plaintiff be granted despite objection to dismissal by the plaintiff?
