Rigsby emergency motion

By David Rossmiller

A curious kerfuffle in the McIntosh v. State Farm case.  Yesterday Cori Rigsby filed an emergency motion seeking to have the Court modify its order dealing with production of certain of her computer records to State Farm. 

I read over the motion a couple times, and it's somewhat confusing, but apparently among the records to be produced are several things that have alarmed Cori Rigsby greatly, leading to this emergency motion.  What all these records are, one cannot tell from the motion, but the motion does say that among the records that should not be produced to State Farm are, evidently, some of the claims files that were illicitly taken in the Trailer Lawyer and Data Dump days.  Amusingly, the motion says production of these records to State Farm -- which are under an injunctive order by Judge Acker in Alabama federal court -- would cause Rigsby to violate Acker's injunction and protective order, which keeps State Farm from actually viewing these documents.

Here's a copy of the motion for you to read for yourself.  There are a few exhibits, none of which are new, but in the interest of a complete record, they are provided below.    

Exhibit A, Judge Acker's injunction.

Exhibit B, consent order.

Exhibit C, permission for Mississippi Department of Insurance to view documents subject to injunction.
