April 23, 2024: Camp Lejeune Update

On April 23rd, plaintiffs’ lawyers opposed the DOJ’s request to delay responding to discovery, emphasizing their commitment to expediting trials. They argue that the Government’s initial response was non-cooperative, failing to produce crucial documents for the Plaintiffs’ claims, including military, VA, and medical records.

Despite efforts to resolve these issues without court intervention, the Government’s non-compliance has led the Plaintiffs to formally request court-enforced supplementation. Given the Plaintiffs’ flexibility and the Government’s awareness of these requests since early October, they contend that further delays are unjustified and hinder their trial preparation.
