And Chief U.S. District Judge Gerald E. Rosen warned in an order issued late Friday that more foot-dragging will not be tolerated in the case.
“In light of the disturbing trend … that at least certain of the defendants appear to be consistently failing to provide timely responses to discovery requests … the court cautions the parties and their counsel that any further failures to provide timely and appropriate responses to discovery requests will be met with escalating rounds of sanctions, up to an including dismissal of claims or the entry of judgment,” Rosen said.
The judge granted three “motions to compel” production of certain records filed by Norman Yatooma, the Birmingham lawyer representing the family of slain dancer Tamara “Strawberry” Greene.
Greene was killed in a drive-by shooting in Detroit on April 30, 2003.
She had been linked to a rumored stripper party at the mayor’s Manoogian Mansion in the fall of 2002.
