Colt Dodrill (Of Counsel-Phoenix, AZ/Las Vegas, NV) obtained summary judgment in Elko, Nevada District Court on negligent hiring, training, and supervision claims against the firm’s client trucking company. When plaintiff sought to conduct discovery into our client’s policies and procedures in an accident casem Colt moved for summary judgment arguing the negligent hiring, training, supervision claims were redundant and irrelevant because the driver’s course and scope were admitted. At oral argument, Colt challenged plaintiff’s reliance on intentional tort cases where course and scope were disputed. The court agreed and entered summary judgment on plaintiff’s redundant claims. This rendered moot the plaintiff’s proposed 30(b)(6) deposition of our client, and will shave one or two days off the trial allowing the jury to focus on the client’s defenses.
