Gordon v. T.G.R. Logistics, Inc.
United States District Court for the District of Wyoming
321 F.R.D. 401 (2017)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Gordon (plaintiff) got into a car accident allegedly caused by the driver of a tractor-trailer that was owned by T.G.R. Logistics, Inc. (defendant). Gordon sued T.G.R. for her physical and emotional injuries, including posttraumatic stress disorder and depression. During discovery, T.G.R. requested that Gordon produce her entire Facebook account history. Gordon had produced, in response to other interrogatories, any Facebook account history that referenced the accident or her resulting injuries. Gordon also produced any results in her account history from several requested keyword searches, including accident, attorney, TGR, posttraumatic stress disorder, and PTSD. Gordon objected to T.G.R.’s request to produce her entire Facebook account history. T.G.R. filed a motion to compel the requested discovery.
