Plain5ff’s aJorney simply did not understand the technical depths to which electronic discovery can some5mes go.
Chief Judge Arthur J. Gonzalez GFI Acquisi5on, LLC v. Am. Federated Title Corp. (In re A&M Fla. Props. II, LLC), 2010 Bankr. LEXIS 1217 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Apr. 7, 2010)

Plain5ff has evidenced a paZern of inexcusable disregard for the authority of this Court … and the larger civil discovery process and warrants imposi5on of substan5al ameliora5ve and puni5ve sanc5ons.
Judge Mary S. Scriven Bray & Gillespie Mgmt., LLC v. Lexington Ins. Co., 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 400 (M.D. Fla. Jan. 5, 2010)

How many 5mes can a li5gant ignore his discovery obliga5ons before his misconduct catches up with him … [Plain5ff] failed to comply with … three court orders compelling produc5on of materials within the party’s control.
Judge Neil Gorsuch Lee v. Max Interna5onal, LLC, 2:09-‐CV-‐0175-‐DB, US
Court of Appeals, 10th Circuit (May 3, 2011)

The defendant’s “acts of spolia4on be treated as contempt of this court, and that as a sanc4on ... he be imprisoned
Judge Paul Grimm Victor Stanley, Inc. v. Crea5ve Pipe, Inc., 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 93644 (D. Md. Sept. 9, 2010)

Victor Stanley, Inc. v. Crea5ve Pipe, Inc., 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 93644 (D. Md. Sept. 9, 2010)
To prove spolia4on that warrants sanc4ons a party must show:
1) The party having control over the evidence must have had an obliga5on to preserve when it was destroyed;
2) The destruc5on or loss was accompanied by a culpable state of mind; and
3) The evidence destroyed or altered must have been relevant to the spolia5on claims of that party that sought the discovery of the spoliated evidence.

The defendant willfully violated … [had] blatant disregard for the Court's Discovery Order … [and showed a] lack of apprecia4on of the discovery process in general.

Judge T. John Ward Green v. Blitz U.S.A., Inc., 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20353 (E.D. Tex. Mar. 1, 2011)

The defendant had to provide a copy of this Order to every Plain5ff in every case it had against it going back two years or pay $500k as a fine if it did not within 30 days.
For the next 5 years, it has to aJach a copy of this Order with its first pleading or filing on every new lawsuit, no maJer in what capacity they are involved.

Lawyers, Clients & Judges “have an interest in establishing a culture of coopera4on in the discovery process. Over-‐conten5ous discovery is a cost that has outstripped any advantage in the face of ESI and the data deluge…

“…It is not in anyone’s interest to waste resources on unnecessary disputes, and the legal system is strained by ‘gamesmanship’ or ‘hiding the ball,’ to no prac5cal effect … [and] it is an exercise in economy and logic.”

The essence of the propor5onality principle is that the legal system ought not to make e-‐discovery so burdensome that people with meritorious claims are deprived of their ability to win.

Ul4mately, our challenge is to achieve a propor4onal result, so that we don't spend $500,000 on electronic discovery in a case that's worth $1 million.
