Kentucky Speedway, LLC v. National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing, Inc.
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky
2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 92028 (2006)
- Written by Rose VanHofwegen, JD
Facts
Kentucky Speedway, LLC (plaintiff) sued alleging that the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing, Inc. (NASCAR) and the International Speedway Corporation (ISC) monopolized the premier stock-car racing and racetrack markets. The parties did not have an agreement as to whether electronic files would be produced in any particular format or with metadata reflecting author and document-creation information. Seven months after ISC produced hard and electronic copies of all its documents, Kentucky Speedway requested metadata for virtually every electronic document ISC produced without showing a particularized need for the metadata or identifying which documents lacked relevant metadata unobtainable through other means. Instead, Kentucky Speedway generally argued that it needed “document custodian information for the prosecution of its case” because it did not know the origin of many documents. ISC objected to the request as overly broad and burdensome.
