Hugh Brian Street v. Chuck Christ et al.

Summary

The court denies Plaintiff Hugh Brian Street’s emergency motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction seeking to preserve possible video evidence of an incident involving Louisiana State Police officials. The court discusses the duty to preserve evidence and spoliation but finds no indication that court intervention is warranted because the evidence may already have been preserved and its existence is uncertain.

Holdings

1. The court denied Plaintiff's Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction because the record did not show that the preservation request had not been honored, that the recordings existed or had existed, or that judicial intervention was warranted.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Plaintiff was entitled to emergency injunctive relief requiring preservation of potentially relevant video recordings.
2. Whether the record established a sufficient preservation concern or duty warranting court intervention.

Disposition

denied
