7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: P.H. Glatfelter Co. v. Windward Prospect Ltd.,

Case No.: 15-3847; 16-1197; 16-1310

Officials: FLAUM, MANION, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges

Focus: Discovery – Motion to Compel

These three appeals arise out of a discovery dispute between P.H. Glatfelter Co., a paper manufacturer, and Windward Prospects Ltd., an English company on which Glatfelter served a non-party subpoena. Two of the appeals are taken by Glatfelter from the district court’s orders denying both Glatfelter’s motion to compel responses to its subpoena and Glatfelter’s motion for reconsideration. The third appeal, which we treat as a cross-appeal, was taken by Windward to seek an award of fees and costs under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37. For the reasons that follow, we dismiss all three appeals for lack of jurisdiction.
