Jennette v. United Parcel Service, Inc

Background

UPS responded to Jennette’s request for clarification of the court’s February 6, 2024 order. UPS understood that order to require Jennette to provide the names of her medical providers, vaccination records from 2015 to the present, and the names of all employers after her employment by UPS Capital Insurance Agency. UPS stated that it had not agreed to refrain from contacting those employers without Jennette’s permission and that the February 6 hearing did not decide whether UPS could contact them.

UPS argued that information about Jennette’s later employment was relevant to the case and to its defenses. The requested information included her later earnings, when she applied for and obtained new employment, her reasons for leaving or seeking employment, possible discipline affecting efforts to reduce her losses, declined promotions or demotions, and vaccination requirements or compliance at a current employer. UPS also asked the court to require Jennette to provide the employer information again and to impose sanctions because UPS believed she was forcing the parties to revisit an issue already decided.

Court’s ruling

The court construed UPS’s letter as a motion to compel and a motion for sanctions. It stated: “Application GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.”

The court granted UPS’s motion to compel. It ordered Jennette to provide UPS with a list of all employers since her employment by UPS Capital Insurance Agency by March 8, 2024.

The court denied UPS’s application for sanctions against Jennette. It also requested that the clerk close ECF No. 39. The order addresses discovery and sanctions; the provided text does not decide the underlying claims in the lawsuit.
