Yet another decision finding intent to deprive under Rule 37(e) for intentional destruction of text messages, demonstrating again the need to identify and keep relevant data from mobile devices. This is the second decision from an appellate court (see the 11th Circuit decision in Skanska v. Bagelheads in comments below) awarding sanctions for failure to preserve text messages. Here, the forensic examination revealed intentional destruction that was sufficient for dismissal. Compare and contrast that to Freeman v. Guiliani (link in comments) in which the Court dismissed the case for a pattern of behavior that showed bad faith, and that bad faith is equivalent to intent, and to other decisions awarding adverse inference instructions for bad faith as well. We will cover the Jones case on Case of the Week with Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists (ACEDS) next week, so be sure to tune in! Decisions and summary of Jones decision below courtesy of eDiscovery Assistant. Summary of Jones: A former waitress intentionally deleted relevant text messages and coordinated with her witnesses to do the same, with the intent to deprive her former employer of their use in a Title VII lawsuit. The district court dismissed the case with prejudice after finding that the destruction of the messages had prejudiced the employer's ability to go to trial. The court affirmed the decision, emphasizing the importance of preserving Electronically Stored Information in litigation. #ediscovery #caselaw #sanctions #mobiledevices #dismissal

One of the best parts of having such an experienced and plugged-in team of O&G litigators at McGinnis Lochridge is getting a first-row seat to many important developments. A couple weeks ago, I wrote an article on the new Business Courts, and now two of my partners are among the first Texas lawyers to gain direct experience in these new courts.
