Our client, Michael Carlsen, was sued one year ago by Lindsey Young for
damages arising out of a car accident allegedly caused by Carlsen’s
negligent and reckless driving. Young has alleged that she has suffered
great pain and injury and was unable to work for nine months. During
discovery, we requested that Young produce various documents, including
all postings and photos posted by her to her Twitter and Facebook
accounts relating to physical activities engaged in by Young that would
be inconsistent with her allegations concerning the nature and extent of
her injuries. Specifically, after another witness testified during a
deposition as to the existence of photos, tweets, and posts on social
media showing Young after the accident, we requested the production of
any materials on Twitter or Facebook showing or discussing Young hiking
in Europe, dancing, or riding a motorcycle during the nine months
after the accident. Young refused to produce the documents requested
and has claimed that such would be a violation of her right to privacy
and is a “fishing expedition” based on Carlsen’s mere hope
of discovering relevant information. Please prepare a brief (memorandum
of points and authorities) in support of a motion to compel production
of documents (under Fed. R. Civ. P. 37) that will persuade the U.S.
District Court for the Central District of California that Young must
produce the social media documents requested. Court rules impose a
five-page limit on all briefs. In addition, court rules require that
the brief be word-processed and double-spaced and that current Bluebook
citation form be followed.
