“Victor Stanley 2″ – Judge Grimm Imposes Prison Sanction for Spoliation by a
Defendant Reminiscent of the Leader of “The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot
Straight” « e-Discovery Team
The sequel to Judge Paul Grimm’s landmark *Victor Stanley* case was issued
September 9, 2010, and is one for the record books. *Victor Stanley II *has
morphed from a search case, to a sanctions thriller. It records one of legal
history’s strongest examples of* **lawyers behaving badly* in e-discovery,
so bad, in fact, that Judge Grimm ordered the spoliating party to jail. The
defendant, Mark T. Pappas, can only avoid two years imprisonment if he
immediately pays all of the plaintiff’s fees and costs award. I am sure that
those fees, yet to be determined, will be enormous.
