The judge has appointed a special master
Julia Jester, Jane C. Timm and Daniel Arkin
Judge Eric Davis has formally appointed a special master to investigate Fox News over its handling of discovery, nearly a week after he scolded the media company for not turning over evidence in a timely fashion.
Davis tapped Delaware litigator John Elzufon to look into whether Fox complied with its discovery obligations heading into the defamation trial, according to the filing.
The special master can depose whomever he wishes — and all those costs must be paid by Fox, as Davis explained from the bench last week.
Elzufon must provide a written report regarding the investigation no later than 4 p.m. ET on May 15.
