J. Kelley allows in part a job applicant’s motion “to compel defendant to supplement its initial disclosures and responses to plaintiff’s interrogatories and requests for production (‘RFPs’), and to award plaintiff $2,000 in fees.” The job applicant did not request leave to file his reply, so any arguments he first puts forward in the reply that were not in his initial motion are not considered. The corporation that hired a younger, white and allegedly less-qualified candidate over plaintiff already provided some of the discovery items requested by the applicant, but they are now required to provide memorandums, writings, notes and emails related to the application and interviewing of the younger, white candidate who was chosen for the position.

J. Silva grants the city’s motion to amend the pretrial order in this employment discrimination suit to identify witnesses presented as those most knowledgeable. The employee has been on notice that a “person most knowledgeable” would be called by the city, and the proposed testimony will not be unexpected. The employee has also named one of the witnesses on the city’s witness list, which further demonstrates a lack of prejudice. There is no evidence that the city seeks to amend in bad faith.

J. Flanagan adopts a magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant sanctions to a county school board by dismissal of a job discrimination complaint brought by a former employee. The employee presently moves to schedule a pretrial hearing and “to note the race of every potential juror examined in this case.” However, as the employee demonstrated bad faith in failing to appear at two depositions, thereby hampering discovery, her motions are dismissed.

J. Rothstein denies the employee's motion to file a second amended and supplemental complaint in his lawsuit against Boeing, alleging that Boeing's counsel engaged in intimidating conduct against him during litigation discovery for his employment disability discrimination lawsuit. The supplemental claim is futile because the actions at issue happened during the broad scope of discovery, making them immune under the litigation privilege.

J. Sannes rules on two motions in limine on an employment discrimination complaint that alleges a large national distribution company declined to hire a woman because she is deaf. The employer is permitted to introduce evidence that shows the applicant is a cancer survivor and considers herself to be disabled, finding it directly relevant to questions of discriminatory animus, while it is precluded from presenting evidence related to income she earned from supplemental security, which the employer was hoping to use to offset a possible award for backpay.

J. Copenhaver denies the former employee’s motion to file an amended complaint in his age discrimination suit against the automotive parts manufacturer. The court finds since the employee knew on May 4 — the day the manufacturer filed its motion for summary judgment — of another potential claim, the timing of his July 27 motion for leave to amend “would lead to increased litigation costs for defendant and would further delay the resolution of this matter” because it comes only eight days before a pretrial conference and 26 days prior to trial.

J. Docherty partially grants the employee's motion to compel national-level discovery about the employer's companywide diversity initiatives, which the employee alleges were the motivating factor behind his termination, and specifically about his own termination. The employee's requests for company-wide information about diversity initiatives and organization charts are not relevant or proportional to the needs of the case, but his request for the search terms the employer used to identify electronically stored information is granted. A request for attorney fees and costs is not granted.
Court: USDC Minnesota, Judge: Docherty, Filed On: August 7, 2023, Case #: 0:22cv50, NOS: Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) - Labor, Categories: discovery, employment Discrimination
