The district court had entered a discovery preservation order in which the
parties agreed the appellant would return a laptop computer along with all
of its data.  However, the appellant deleted data off the laptop minutes
before signing the agreement.  Then the appellee initiated post-settlement
litigation to obtain sanctions.  The appellant’s attorney then withdrew and
the appellant continued pro se.  The judge found the appellant to be in
civil contempt and awarded sanctions of over $50,000.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
