Scruggs told to turn over records

The Sun Herald, 5/18/8

Attorney Dickie Scruggs must turn over policyholder records to State Farm within 15 days, Federal Magistrate Judge Robert H. Walker has ruled.

Walker decided that State Farm is entitled to records that two former insurance adjusters took and gave to Scruggs that are related to the Hurricane Katrina claim of Thomas and Pamela McIntosh, who are suing the insurance company over Katrina damage.

Scruggs hired the adjusters after they lost their jobs in June 2006 for taking thousands of pages of State Farm documents. Scruggs claims he no longer has most of the records.
