罗德里格斯 - 托雷斯v. GOV. 开发. 波多黎各银行, 2010 轮候册 174156 (D.P.R. 扬. 20, 2010)

在这种就业歧视案, 法院认定的电子存储信息 (“喷雾”) 要求原告“没有合理的，因为不必要的负担和成本的访问”，并没有表现出良好的事业，迫使生产的ESI和否认原告的议案，迫使原告.

Plaintiffs filed a motion to compel defendants’ production of “all email communications and calendar entries describing, relating or referring to plaintiff Vicky Rodriquez, both inbound and outbound from defendant GDB’s messaging system servers” for the years 2007, 2008, and 2009.  Moreover, plaintiffs sought to compel such production “in native format with its original metadata…”  Defendants objected and indicated that plaintiffs’ request was likely to produce “hundreds if not thousands of documents which will include irrelevant, confidential, and potentially privileged information.”

Prior to ruling, the court ordered additional briefing on the issue.  The parties&后; submissions included a report from a consulting service indicating an approximate cost of $35,000 to retrieve the requested ESI.  Defendants also indicated the need to perform a privilege and confidentiality review of the ESI prior to production.  Accordingly, the court found the requested ESI “not reasonably accessible” reasoning that the proposed cost was “too high of a cost for the production of the requested ESI in this type of action.”  Moreover, the court indicated its concern over the increased cost that would result from the need to review the documents prior to production stating, “the volume of such information along with the form in which the information is stored makes privilege determinations more difficult and, correspondingly, more expensive and time consuming.”
