The action against Fifth Third Bank (“Fifth Third”) commenced by Anthony Ostlund client Upsher-Smith Laboratories, Inc. has recently received renewed attention from the Minnesota Litigator law blog in light of a recent ruling by United States Magistrate Judge Hildy Bowbeer.
That ruling related to Fifth Third’s efforts to compel the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) to produce documents relating to its investigation of fraudulent foreign exchange trades/funds transfers facilitated by Fifth Third. In its Order, the Court denied Fifth Third’s motion to compel based in large part on sovereign immunity and investigatory privilege objections.
