Cases

A court of the Eastern District of Texas granted an insurer’s motion to compel the production of an authorization form permitting the obtainment of Social Security disability records but denied the insurer’s “no evidence” motion for summary judgment and Rule 37 sanctions, finding that such sanctions were not warranted and that the “no evidence” motion for summary judgment, which does not have a federal corollary to such state court pleadings, did not adequately demonstrate an entitlement to judgment as a matter of law given that the motion was predicated on the court granting the insurer’s request for sanctions.
