Huntington Ingalls Incorporated et al Doc. 414 Case 2:22-cv-00610-DJP-MBN Document 414 Filed 08/31/23 Page 1 of 2 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA FELTON ADAM ROBICHAUX CIVIL ACTION VERSUS NUMBER: 22-610 HUNTINGTON INGALLS INCORPORATED, ET AL. SECTION: “P”(5) ORDER AND REASONS ON MOTION AUGUST 31, 2023 APPEARANCES: MOTION: (1) Plaintiff’s Motion for Discovery Sanctions Against Huntington Ingalls, Inc. Pursuant to Rule 37(b) (rec. doc. 409) 1 : Continued to : No opposition. : Opposition. (Rec. doc. 412). ORDERED 1 : Dismissed as moot. : Dismissed for failure of counsel to appear. : Granted. : Denied as moot. As for the request for sanctions, including dispositive sanctions, the conduct here does not even approach the level that would justify such a sanction. While Defense counsel admittedly acted in a dilatory fashion in communicating with Plaintiff’s counsel as to the scheduling of the subject deposition, the Court can divine no prejudice to Plaintiff in the delay occasioned by that conduct. Indeed, a date for that deposition has been offered and accepted, a notice issued, and Plaintiff has not taken issue in a reply memorandum with Defendant’s position that the matter is moot. It is not entirely clear why Plaintiff felt compelled to file this motion in the first place, given that Defendant’s counsel actually did respond to counsel’s request for a deposition date a week before the motion was filed. : Other.
