Silbaugh v. Acosta, No. 18-1182, 2019 WL 3238574 (W.D. Wash. July 18, 2019) (Coughenour, J.)

Re:  Requests for records concerning plaintiff's worker compensation claim

Disposition:  Denying plaintiff's motion to compel discovery

• Litigation Considerations, Discovery:  The court holds that "Defendant has yet to carry its burden regarding the adequacy of its search through dispositive motions practice."  "Defendant has not filed any affidavits attesting to the reasonableness of its search, nor produced any evidence establishing the discharge of its duties under FOIA."  "Because of this, Plaintiff's motion to compel discovery is premature."
