In one, the First Circuit affirmed the default judgment against my favorite contemnor, Wolfgang Neuberger, and others, as a sanction for failing to participate in discovery.

Biolitec, 946 F. Supp. 2d 205 (D. Mass. 2013), was recently argued. As you might recall, this was the case in which a German company had been […]

Following their continued refusal to obey court orders to produce witnesses (including Neuberger) for depositions and to obey the court’s preliminary injunction, Judge Ponsor, relying on FRCP 37 and the court’s inherent authority, entered a default judgment as to liability and scheduled a hearing on damages. The moral of the story: do not disobey a federal judge’s orders lightly.

Hi, Larry,

Thanks for the note. I checked the docket. About a month ago, the judge rejected the defendant’s motion for relief from his earlier orders, calling one of their lawyers’ arguments “breathtakingly silly.” Essentially, the defendants argued that even though they had violated the order, the plaintiffs had not been harmed, so no harm, no foul. The judge pointed out what every first-year law student knows: once an injunction has been issued, the merits of the injunction are not part of the analysis on a motion for contempt.

The defendants appealed to the First Circuit on September 20.

Is anyone aware of a recent development?
