Foster didnāt give petitioner and software engineer Robert Zeidman all that he asked for in attorneyās fees, but nonetheless concluded that a fee award was warranted, as Lindell Management LLC was admittedly ādelinquentā in its responses to document production requests Zeidman made in post-judgment discovery, requests that took at least 11 hours for the petitionerās lawyers to work on.
āThe Court held a hearing on the Motion on July 17, 2024 and largely ruled on the Motion from the bench. During the hearing, Respondent admitted that it had not provided any responsesāat allāto Petitionerās Interrogatories,ā the magistrate recounted. āThough Respondent produced a handful documents in response to Petitionerās Document Requests, it did not provide comprehensive responses to those requests and failed to produce any written responses or objections explaining why any documents were withheld.ā
