IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

DELTA DIVISION 

LASHANDA CAL VIN 

v. No. 2:18-cv-85-DPM 

PLAINTIFF 

SHELTER MUTUAL INSURANCE 

COMPANY DEFENDANT 

ORDER 

In her deposition in late 2018, Calvin said she still needed to go to 

her chiropractor, but had stopped in April of that year because she 

couldn't afford it. NQ 13-1 at 7. It has turned out that she recently went 

back three times, in December 2019. She incurred $715 more in medical 

expenses. Ng 44-1 at 5. The extended deadline for pretrial disclosures 

was 16 January 2020. Calvin did not disclose the December bills and 

related records then. She did so on 28 January 2020, twelve days after 

the deadline. NQ 44-1 at 1. Counsel have been in frequent 

communication during the last month or so, getting ready for our 

February 10th trial. Calvin's December treatment and bills were not 

mentioned. The holidays no doubt created some delay in 

communications between client and counsel. Shelter knew the 

chiropractor, and her records, were coming to trial. But the untimely 

disclosure of the new December documents, without any indication 

that they were coming, prejudices Shelter. These records are excluded,

and no one may testify about them or the December treatments. 

Motion, NQ 44, granted. 

So Ordered.
