How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • adding that the defendant did not seek clarification of the order or an extension to the deadline
  • observing that \the law is clear in this circuit that `the [contem-nor's] failure to comply with the court decree need not be intentional\ and that a \finding of bad faith on the part of the contemnor is not required.\
  • explaining that good faith is relevant when assessing substantial compliance
  • upholding a finding of contempt against a contemnor who alleged the defense of good faith substantial compliance because the contemnor’s production came ten days past the court-ordered deadline
  • affirming contempt where nonparty failed to produce documents after court order compelling compliance with subpoena
  • refusing to excuse compliance based on faulty management practices because “future courts would be deluged with litigants blaming ‘faulty’ record systems for noncompliance.”
