MDL Judge Orders FedEx Turn Over IRS Audit Documents
Another delay attempted, another defeat for FedEx’s lawyers. The Indiana magistrate judge ordered FedEx to turn over the 2007 IRS “Notice of Proposed Assessment.” The magistrate judge wrote, “The Court finds that the relevancy of the NOPA document outweighs any harassment or embarrassment that FedEx will suffer if the NOPA is disclosed. First, and most importantly, FedEx has placed at issue the IRS’s opinion of its driver model. Plaintiff’s indicate, and FedEx does not deny, that they have frequently pointed to the IRS’s opinion from the mid 90’s to support its position in this litigation. FedEx cannot credibly argue that the IRS documents were discoverable when it was favorable to FedEx’s position but now when it may not support FedEx’s position they are not discoverable. FedEx also claims that the NOPA does not contradict the IRS documents from the mid 90’s. If so, then there is no prejudice to FedEx. And if there is a change, the new position and the factors that lead to the new position might lead to relevant evidence in this litigation.” See the whole doc on our multi-district litigation resource page.
