Heading: Damages Calculation at Second Trial

Text: West contends that the district court erred when it allowed Dillon to submit a new damage calculation for the second trial on damages. The court cited Federal 5 Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(1) which requires the disclosure of a computation of each category of damages claimed by the disclosing party, and Rule 26(e) which requires disclosing parties to supplement their prior disclosures “in a timely manner” when the prior response is “incomplete or incorrect.” The court noted that it had the authority to prevent a violating party from introducing any undisclosed evidence at trial. However, a court may instead “impose other appropriate sanctions.” F ED. R. C IV. P. 37(c)(1)(C). The district court’s decision was well reasoned and within its discretion.
