Samsung Electronics, Co., Ltd. v. Rambus, Inc. (2006 WL 2038417)
 
In a lengthy decision, the E.D. Va. court discussed several important
questions regarding the duty to preserve evidence when litigation is
reasonably anticipated, including when duty arises, the scope of the
duty, some of the steps to follow to fulfill the preservation obligation
and what limitations the preservation duty imposes on implementing at
records retention/destruction program (RRP), and when spoliation
sanctions are appropriate for the destruction of documents under a RRP.

Sorry but I don't have a (free) link to the full decision.  The only
citation I could find so far is on Westlaw (which is a paid service).
 
Have a great week everyone!
