  1. Brief-Writing Assignment 

Must be in CREAC method and use RELEVANT case law and Bluebook citation

Our client, Michael Carlsen, was sued one year ago by Lindsey Young for damages 

arising out of a car accident allegedly caused by Carlsen’s negligent and reckless driving. Young 

has alleged that she has suffered great pain and injury and was unable to work for nine months. 

During discovery, we requested that Young produce various documents, including all 

postings and photos posted by her to her Twitter and Facebook accounts relating to physical 

activities engaged in by Young that would be inconsistent with her allegations concerning the 

nature and extent of her injuries. Specifically, after another witness testified during a deposition 

as to the existence of photos, tweets, and posts on social media showing Young after the 

accident, we requested the production of any materials on Twitter or Facebook showing or 

discussing Young hiking in Europe, dancing, or riding a motorcycle during the nine months after 

the accident. 

 

Young refused to produce the documents requested and has claimed that such would be a 

violation of her right to privacy and is a “fishing expedition” based on Carlsen’s mere hope of 

discovering relevant information. 

Please prepare a brief (memorandum of points and authorities) in support of a motion to 

compel production of documents (under Fed. R. Civ. P. 37) that will persuade the U.S. District 

Court for the Central District of California that Young must produce the social media documents 

requested. 

Court rules impose a five-page limit on all briefs. In addition, court rules require that the 

brief be word-processed and double-spaced and that current Bluebook citation form be followed.
