Despite diligent efforts, the parties were unable to reach agreement
regarding the appropriate scope of a search for responsive information.
Plaintiffs proposed 40 custodians, 80 search terms, and a timeframe of
nearly seven years.  Defendants sought a phased approach and proposed
limiting the initial search to three custodians, with plaintiffs to bear the
cost.  Defendants also objected to the temporal scope of discovery.  Citing
Rule 26(b)(2)(B), the court found the information sought “not reasonably
accessible” and reduced the scope of the search, but denied defendants’
motion to shift costs.

"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.
