U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-2714
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Loken and Bye, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - 28 U.S.C. sec. 1782. Decision which documents must be
produced in application under 28 U.S.C. sec. 1782 is governed by Federal
Rules. Thus, district court's discovery ruling will not be reversed absent
a gross abuse of discretion resulting in fundamental unfairness. District
court's refusal to order discovery of settlement documents was not a
gross abuse of discretion, as use of documents would be prohibited at
trial and fundamental unfairness would not result.
