Information Challenging Administrative Record In Disability Suit Is Discoverable

NEW ORLEANS - A Louisiana federal magistrate judge on Aug. 16 determined that a disability claimant is entitled to some discovery as some of the claimant's requests challenge the completeness of the administrative record and some of the requests seek discoverable information regarding the insurer's retention of third-party medical professionals (Jeanne Sirey v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., No. 18-197, E.D. La., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 138732).
