Congratulations are in order to my cocounsel John Burkhead and Tim Newsom of the Law Offices of Frank Branson and Sherman lawyer Becca Skupin for yesterday’s $1.979 million verdict in a RICO / med mal case in Judge Amos Mazzant’s court in Sherman.
The court clarified the extent of its order requiring production of certain documents under this exception.
The court considered a request to order production of text messages.
Not in this case, which discusses some time management issues at trial.
The jury awarded breach of contract damages and, sitting as an advisory jury, recommended damages for disgorgement and exemplary damages in this damages-only case.
Last November a breakout of COVID-19 in the Sherman courthouse derailed this case. Not this time – and it is the second $150-175 million verdict in Sherman in two weeks.
They’re trying patent cases in Sherman as well.
This order from Judge Mazzant handles the rulings slightly differently.
Kinda like 7 inches of snow amended my yard last night. I know there’s a driveway out there somewhere – I parked the truck on it.
Two in one day. That’s unusual.
