Heading: Supplementation of Vulcan's Preverdict Responses

Text: Finally, Vulcan contends that the trial court exceeded its discretion in compelling it to respond to request no. 35: Please supplement with updated information all your previous responses to requests for production. (Emphasis added.) According to Vulcan, [t]he discovery permitted in the post-judgment phase is... limited and different from the merits phase. [Blizard] has not offered, and cannot offer, any explanation as to why Vulcan should be put to the burden of supplementing all of its responses after the trial has been conducted. We agree. Indeed, Blizard's brief does not mention request no. 35 or seek to justify it. Consequently, we grant Vulcan's petition as to request no. 35.
