Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Brailsford grants the government's motion to compel and for sanctions in a discovery dispute. The government issued a hold on a couple's passports over a delinquent federal income tax liability. The couple initiated a suit seeking to invalidate the IRS’s delinquent tax certification. The government counterclaimed for a monetary judgment against the couple for their unpaid income taxes. The couple dismissed their complaint, leaving the countersuit as the only remaining claim. The couple does not dispute that the information the government seeks is discoverable. The couple is ordered to clarify their answers to interrogatories within 30 days. The government's request for documents in the possession of the couple's former CPA is granted. Because the motion to compel is granted in full, the motion for sanctions is granted.
