United States ex rel. Landis v. Tailwind Sports Corp.
United States District Court for the District of Columbia
317 F.R.D. 592 (2016)
- Written by Darius Dehghan, JD
Facts
The United States government (the government) (plaintiff) intervened in a lawsuit against professional cyclist Lance Armstrong (defendant). The suit alleged that Armstrong made fraudulent statements relating to his sponsorship agreement with the United States Postal Service (USPS). Because Armstrong contended that the USPS ultimately profited from the sponsorship, the government served Armstrong with interrogatories that sought information regarding his contention. However, Armstrong’s responses were limited to identifying documents that had been produced during discovery, such as deposition transcripts. The government filed a motion to compel Armstrong to supplement his responses. The district court took the motion under advisement.
