R. Civ. P. 59(e) and 60(b)(1)-(2) with request for oral argument” (filing 385). The motion is filed with respect to the court’s memorandum and order entered on January 2, 2009 (filing 382), which granted summary judgment in favor of one of the defendants, Cargill, Incorporated, and also with respect to the court’s judgment entered that same date (filing 383), which dismissed the plaintiffs’ action against Cargill with prejudice. The plaintiffs argue that additional evidence was discovered during Cargill’s corporate deposition on December 9-10, 2008, which makes the granting of summary judgment inappropriate. Alternatively, the plaintiffs argue that they at least should be permitted to complete the corporate deposition, and to depose a former Cargill employee. The plaintiffs also argue that there is a genuine issue as to whether Cargill should have known of the contamination at the Engleman Road facility because, as a manufacturer of chemical pesticides, it should be charged with constructive knowledge of a 1983 study report cited by the plaintiffs’ expert that concerns groundwater contamination caused by the dumping of chlorinated solvents.

  • Information Sheet No. 5 Discovery
    U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board Information Sheet No. 5 Discovery Purpose. The purpose of this information sheet is to provide general guidance and background information. It does not represent an official statement approved by the Board itself, and is not intended to provide legal counsel or to be cited as legal authority. Instead, it is intended only to help the public become familiar with the MSPB and its procedures. In all instances, however, the Board’s regulations and current case law control with respect to the matters discussed here. What is discovery? Discovery is the procedure by which you may ask questions, or obtain documents or answers from the opposing party or third parties in order to "discover" information that is calculated to lead the parties to find admissible evidence. How does discovery work? A party must make its first discovery request within 30 days following the date of the Board's Acknowledgment Order in the case. Otherwise, the request will be considered untimely (late), and the other party may be excused from having to answer it. Following receipt of a discovery request, a party must respond to it within 20 days after the date of service. If the response is inadequate, or if the discovery request is ignored, the party that made the discovery request may file a "Motion to Compel Discovery" with the administrative judge (AJ). A Motion to Compel Discovery must be filed within 10 days after the objection or nonconforming response is served, or within 10 days after the time limit for response has expired.
