Boxer Wins Discovery Battle in Suit Against BALCO Founder

A New York State trial court has granted professional boxer’s request to require the founder of Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative (BALCO), Victor Conte, to make his computer available to him so that he can look for evidence in his defamation lawsuit against Conte.   In so ruling, the court found, among other things, that the defendant's affidavit was “insufficient to establish diligent efforts to retrieve the materials” in response to the plaintiff’s initial discovery requests.
