Application for Expedited Discovery to Preserve Electronic Evidence: In cases where there is a risk of electronically stored information (ESI) being destroyed or altered, parties may file this application to request immediate preservation of such evidence.

This is particularly crucial if there is a concern that the witnesses may become uncooperative or their memory may fade over time. It is important to note that each application for expedited discovery must meet specific legal standards and provide valid reasons for the request. The court will review the application and determine whether the circumstances warrant the expedited gathering of evidence.
