Nelson v. Schultz
United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
878 F.3d 236 (2017)
- Written by Darius Dehghan, JD
Facts
Kenneth Nelson (plaintiff) brought a breach-of-contract claim against his former business partners, Bruce Schultz and Jon Rodgers (defendants). During discovery, Schultz and Rodgers sought to obtain Nelson’s tax returns. Although the district-court judge issued discovery orders requiring Nelson to produce his tax returns, Nelson repeatedly violated these orders. The district-court judge sanctioned Nelson for his lack of cooperation in discovery by dismissing the case. Nelson appealed.
