Carmen planned an adverse-inference request targeting Karras's withheld text messages. Using the precedent-cases memo (research/precedent-cases-memo.md), the hearing-prep outline (notes/hearing-prep-outline.md), and the opposing discovery correspondence (correspondence/opposing/ortega-discovery-correspondence.md): (a) What is the full citation of the Second Department case Carmen identified as the legal basis for that adverse-inference request? (b) In which lettered section of the hearing-prep outline does Carmen note she would have a Westlaw printout of this case 'ready for the bench'? (c) What did Karras's counsel claim happened to the text messages that made them unavailable?

Gold answer

(a) Schein v. Powerplay Builders, LLC, 178 AD3d 1102 (2d Dep't 2019). (b) Section H of the hearing-prep outline. (c) Ortega claimed Karras follows a 'standard phone-rotation policy' (Karras's phrase) — a roughly 60-day rolling clearing of text-message threads, meaning historical messages predating that window would have been deleted as part of routine cycle. Ortega ultimately produced a sworn affidavit (executed 2026-03-18) attesting that after a search of Karras's iPhone 13 and iCloud Messages backup, no responsive text messages exist within the 2025-11-01 through 2026-01-22 discovery window beyond what Park had already produced informally.

## Answers

**(a) Full citation:**
*Schein v. Powerplay Builders, LLC*, 178 AD3d 1102, 116 NYS3d 296 (2d Dep't 2019).

**(b) Lettered section of the hearing-prep outline:**
Section **H** ("ADVERSE-INFERENCE REQUEST"), which states the one-page request will be "[t]endered with a Westlaw Small Firm printout of *Schein* and a one-paragraph proposed inference."

**(c) What Karras's counsel claimed happened to the text messages:**
Ortega offered two overlapping claims (Documents 4 and 5 of the discovery correspondence):

1. **No responsive texts ever existed** beyond what Wendell himself produced — Karras's stated practice was to *call* rather than text once he was on a job, so operational chatter ran through phone calls and in-person walk-throughs.
2. **Any older messages were routinely deleted** under Karras's self-described **"standard phone-rotation policy"** — a personal-device practice of clearing out text-message threads on a roughly **60-day rolling basis**, applied across all clients and not specific to this matter, such that any historical messages predating the rolling window had been deleted as part of that routine cycle and would not be recoverable from the device.

Ortega ultimately resolved the meet-and-confer by agreeing to serve a sworn affidavit (option (a)) attesting that, after a search of Karras's iPhone 13 (Verizon) and iCloud Messages backup, no responsive texts exist in the 2025-11-01 → 2026-01-22 window.

Here are the answers from the case files:

**(a)** The full citation is **_Schein v. Powerplay Builders, LLC_, 178 AD3d 1102 (2d Dep't 2019)**.

**(b)** Section **H** ("Adverse-Inference Request") of the hearing-prep outline. That section states the request would be "[t]endered with a Westlaw Small Firm printout of Schein and a one-paragraph proposed inference." The precedent-cases-memo echoes this with Carmen's note to "have a one-page *Schein* excerpt ready for the bench."

**(c)** Karras's counsel (Felipe Ortega) claimed two things: first, that **no relevant text messages existed** beyond what Park had already produced — Karras said he preferred phone calls and in-person walk-throughs over texting once on a job. Second, Karras had a **"standard phone-rotation policy"** (Karras's own phrase) of clearing out text-message threads on a roughly **60-day rolling basis** across all clients, meaning any historical messages predating that rolling window had been **routinely deleted from his device** and were not recoverable.
