Moss v. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas, Inc.
United States District Court for the District of Kansas
241 F.R.D. 683 (D. Kan. 2007)
Moss (plaintiff) sued Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas (defendant) alleging FMLA interference and retaliation, and moved to compel responses to interrogatories and document requests that Blue Cross had objected to as overly broad, unduly burdensome, and unlikely to lead to admissible evidence; the court found Blue Cross had not met its burden of detailing why the requests were unduly burdensome, but nonetheless found them unduly burdensome on their face.
Whether a court must dismiss a party's objection to a discovery request as being unduly burdensome where the objecting party does not meet his obligation to give details about why the request is unduly burdensome.
