Today, a federal court rejected Uber’s motion to amend a previous discovery order in the Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) case. Uber had requested the court to establish a firm deadline of November 27, 2023, for the production of custodial documents. The company argued that the existing order, which mandates the continuous production of documents “created through the present and on an ongoing basis,” placed an undue and disproportionate burden on them. Uber further contended that this ongoing requirement violated the proportionality and relevance standards outlined in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
