objection and the City's position at the hearing is striking. (See hr'g at 10:23-24
(Attorney Bolton characterizing the objection at the hearing as follows: “It was a little
over the top. Maybe more than a little, in response.”)
In conclusion, the Court awards the plaintiff with reasonable attorney’s fees
associated with her attempt to obtain discovery of the emails in question. As a result,
the plaintiff's motion for discovery sanctions is GRANTED. The plaintiff shall file an
itemization of attorney's fees with appropriate redactions for attorney-client privilege and
work product purposes by August 1, 2021. Any objection to this itemization shall be
filed by August 15, 2021.
So ordered.
