  • Handbook on Civil Discovery Practice
    MIDDLE DISTRICT DISCOVERY A HANDBOOK ON CIVIL DISCOVERY PRACTICE IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA Rev. 6/05/15 Introduction The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of the Middle District of Florida, and existing case law cover only some aspects of civil discovery practice. Many of the gaps have been filled by the actual practice of trial attorneys and, over the years, a custom and usage has developed in this district in frequently recurring discovery situations. Originally developed by a group of trial attorneys, this handbook on civil discovery practice in the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, updated in 2001, and again in 2015, attempts to supplement the rules and decisions by capturing this custom and practice. This handbook is neither substantive law nor inflexible rule; it is an expression of generally acceptable discovery practice in the Middle District. It is revised only periodically and should not be relied on as an up-to-date reference regarding the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules for the Middle District of Florida, or existing case law. Judges and attorneys practicing in the Middle District should regard the handbook as highly persuasive in addressing discovery issues. Parties who represent themselves (“pro se”) will find the handbook useful as they are also subject to the rules and court orders and may be sanctioned for non-compliance. Judges may impose specific discovery requirements in civil cases, by standing order or case-specific order. This handbook does not displace those requirements, but provides a general overview of discovery practice in the Middle District of Florida.

    GENERAL DISTRICT COURT MANUAL CIVIL CASE PROCEDURES Page 6-1 Chapter 6 – Civil Case Procedures Introduction Civil cases are brought to enforce, redress, or protect the private rights of an individual, organization or government entity. The remedies available in a civil action include the recovery of money damages and the issuance of a court order requiring a party to the suit to complete an agreement or to refrain from some activity. The party who initiates the suit is the “plaintiff,” and the party against whom the suit is brought is the “defendant.” In civil cases, the plaintiff must prove his case by “a preponderance of the evidence.” Any person who is a plaintiff in a civil action in a court of the Commonwealth and a resident of the Commonwealth or a defendant in a civil action in a court of the Commonwealth, and who is on account of his poverty unable to pay fees or costs, may be allowed by the court to sue or defendant a suit therein without paying fees and costs. The person may file the DC-409, PETITION FOR PROCEEDING IN CIVIL CASE WITHOUT PAYMENT OF FEES OR COSTS . In determining a person’s ability to pay fees or costs on account of his/her poverty, the court shall consider whether such person is current recipient of a state and federally funded public assistance program for the indigent or is represented by legal aid society, including an attorney appearing as counsel, pro bono or assigned or referred by legal aid society. If so, such person shall be presumed unable to pay such fees and costs.

Professor Lawson and Mr. Seidman argue that enforce- ment of such subpoenas are indeed takings, but that the Constitution'sjust compensation requirement can be satisfied in most instances through implicit in-kind compensation. There may be exceptional circumstances,however, where the prospect of implicit compensa- tion from a generalscheme of forced production of evidence is insufficient to compensate the target for its losses, in which case direct compensation may be constitutionally required. INTRODUCTION Few cases from the October 1997 Supreme Court term re- ceived as much public attention as Swidler & Berlin v United States,' which held that the attorney-client privilege survives the death of the client in federal criminal proceedings.2 If one focuses solely on the issue actually decided in the case, that degree of at- tention is surprising.

  • Rethinking Attorney-Client Privilege
    ARTICLES Rethinking Attorney-Client Privilege JASON BATTS* ABSTRACT Words matter. This is particularly true in the legal profession, where the common-law system dictates that from the opinions of judges, stems the edict of law. With the written word of judicial decisions carrying such weight, courts must take care to ensure their rulings are adequately justi®ed and penned in a manner that provides suf®cient notice as to what acts or omissions are legal. Nowhere is this more necessary than in cases where government and corporate of®cials, who often wield vast spheres of in¯uence, attempt to invoke one of the oldest and most frequently discussed topics of legal scholarshipÐthe attorney- client privilege. In spite of more than four-hundred years of judicial history and countless law-review articles establishing the privilege as part of the very foundation of the practice of law, courts continue to struggle with its application to corporate and government entities. The resulting opinions are inconsistent and often so void of reasoning that corporate executives, government of®cials, and their attorneys are without suf®cient notice as to what communications are protected from disclosure. The current circuit split on this issue, combined with President Donald Trump's recent invocations of the privilege, have only fueled the need for clarity on a law seemingly as well known to the general public as to mem- bers of the bar. This Article is the ®rst to examine the perspectives employed by courts in entity-privilege cases to answer a question more than four-hundred years in the making: based upon the competing perspectives utilized by courts in entity- privilege cases, how should the attorney-client privilege apply to government agencies and corporations? I employ an interdisciplinary approach, using * Prosecutor, Hickman County, Kentucky; J.D.

  • 2019-0391, Petition of State of New Hampshire, the Court on May 21, 2020, Issued the Following Order
    THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE SUPREME COURT In Case No. 2019-0391, Petition of State of New Hampshire, the court on May 21, 2020, issued the following order: Having considered the briefs and record submitted on appeal, we conclude that oral argument is unnecessary in this case. See Sup. Ct. R. 18(1). Accordingly, we vacate that portion of our August 23, 2019 acceptance order that provided that the case would “be scheduled for oral argument before the full court.” We affirm. The State seeks a writ of certiorari, see Sup. Ct. R. 11, challenging pretrial decisions of the Superior Court (Howard, J.) to deny the States motion to quash a subpoena duces tecum served by the defendant, Mark Oliveri, upon the alleged victim in a criminal matter that the State is currently prosecuting, and to allow the defendant to depose the alleged victim for five additional hours. On appeal, the State invites us to adopt the standard set forth in United States v. Nixon 418 U.S. 683, 699-700 (1974), governing subpoenas duces tecum in federal criminal trials, and argues that, because the defendant’s subpoena allegedly did not satisfy Nixon, the trial court erred by enforcing it. Alternatively, the State argues that we “must vacate the trial court’s order and remand for further consideration because,” according to the State, “the trial court refused to make any findings or to consider any heightened standard” which, the State asserts, ought to apply to a subpoena duces tecum in a criminal case. Finally, the State contends that the trial court erred when it permitted the alleged victim’s deposition to continue for five additional hours because, the State claims, the trial court “failed to question the defendant’s need for additional time.” “Certiorari is an extraordinary remedy that is not granted as a matter of right, but rather at the court’s discretion.” Petition of State of N.H.
