Angels object to request by prosecutors for more documents in Tyler Skaggs case

LA Times  

The Angels have pushed back against a motion by federal prosecutors to compel the organization to comply with a subpoena linked to the overdose death of pitcher Tyler Skaggs, describing the request as a “fishing expedition” in a court filing after the team handed over more than 350,000 documents during the past two years. “In short, Angels Baseball has cooperated with the government’s investigation in every possible way, and has produced hundreds of thousands of non-privileged documents relevant to and Kay,” the motion signed by team attorneys Ariel Neuman and John Cayce said. “When Angels Baseball cleaned out Kay’s office and found potentially relevant items that the government agents had missed, it immediately informed the government and produced those items,” the response said. “The claim is baseless, and the government fails to meet its burden of specifically identifying relevant, admissible documents that would be responsive to the subpoena other than those protected by the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine.” Neuman, a former federal prosecutor now with the law firm Bird Marella, investigated the circumstances surrounding Skaggs’ death starting in December 2019 on behalf of the Angels. “The government does not identify a single relevant, non-privileged, and unproduced document in Angels Baseball’s possession that would be responsive to the subpoena,” the filing said.
