Unwise Move

In Diana Convenience LLC v. Dollar ATM, LLC, the Fifth Court affirmed a death-penalty sanctions award. Among the relevant facts considered, this particular move was unwise for the sanctioned party: “[T]he decision by appellants Shark Phones and AMK Convenience to file a no-evidence motion for summary judgment based on the very evidence that appellee was seeking—who signed the agreement and were they authorized to do so—supports the trial court’s finding that appellants had a callous disregard for the rules of discovery.” No. 05-20-00936-CV (May 25, 2022).
