August 24, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 18 ORDER ON PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR SANCTIONS ON SPOLIATION - Defendant argues that it preserved the relevant footage and acted reasonably by saving the relevant portion and then placing the bus hard drive back into operation. [Filing No. #15 , at ECF p. 3.] At this point, the Court sees no evidence to support Plaintiffs' blanket accusation of spoliation. Such a blanket, unsupported accusation falls way short of the requirement for a spoliation sanction to be considered under Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(e). Accordingly, Plaintiffs' motion for sanctions on spoliation is denied without prejudice, [Filing No. #11 ], but Plaintiffs should not view this "without prejudice" designation as an invitation to renew their motion. See Order for additional information. Signed by Magistrate Judge Tim A. Baker on 8/24/2021. (SWM)
