Peterson denies the widower's motion for sanctions against the prison healthcare company in his lawsuit alleging violations of his late wife's 14th Amendment rights that allegedly led to a fatal heart attack while she was incarcerated. While the widower's motion for sanctions is denied, he has successfully argued that the company misrepresented the availability of key information during discovery about deaths in facilities the company services such that the widower could not access this information until December 2023, so the case's schedule is struck and the parties will conduct a new pretrial conference to reset the schedule and set a new discovery plan. A motion to intervene from the estate of a man who also died while in custody at a facility the company services is denied, as its goal to obtain documents obtained through discovery in this case can be obtained through its own discovery procedures, but the motion is denied without prejudice so it can be brought back later if need be.
