> TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT: CASE 26-CV-4491 //
> DOE vs. APEXIAN DEVELOPMENTS (Wrongful Death / Asbestos) //
> JUDGE FORDE: "Counsel, your discovery motion regarding the internal communications between Apexian and Corves Risk Management is overly broad and highly prejudicial. I am striking the request." //
> PLAINTIFF COUNSEL: "But Your Honor, the emails prove they knew the safety reports were falsified by the certifier!" //
> JUDGE FORDE: "I said I am striking it, Counselor. Furthermore, the plaintiff's filing missed the 48-hour statutory window for class certification. This case is dismissed with prejudice." //
