J. Holmes partially grants the individual plaintiff's motion for attorney fees in connection with his motion to compel discovery. The court previously ordered the defendant company to produce certain documents and "to make a corporate representative available" to provide testimony on certain topics. The defendant company now argues that there was a conflict regarding its duties under Italian data privacy laws, but the court concludes that its failure to provide certain documents was not "substantially justified." Not all of the requested fees are reasonable, however, as a discovery sanction.

J. Deavers denies the non-party engineering firm's motion for sanctions, ruling the hydroelectric company did not abuse the subpoena process when it requested extensive documents and other discovery materials from the firm, which was integral to the project from which this lawsuit originally stemmed. However, the cost-shifting rule of procedure is applicable in this case, given the large amount of attorney fees and other costs incurred by the non-party firm, which produced more than 1.2 million documents throughout the discovery process. Therefore, the hydroelectric company will reimburse it for more than $82,000 in expenses.
