The defendants in a personal injury action brought a motion under Rule 30.06 to compel the plaintiff to produce all post-accident vacation photographs and all content on the private portion of her Facebook account.
The plaintiff claimed loss of enjoyment of life.
The court reviewed the photographs and found they only showed the plaintiff sightseeing, which she admitted she could do, and thus were not relevant to her physical limitations.
The court also held that the request for the entire private Facebook account was a fishing expedition and shockingly intrusive, akin to asking for all personal letters.
The motion was dismissed.
