Miki Thompson Administratrix of the Estate of Kara Vance v. Hon Eddy Coleman Judge, Pike Circuit Court

Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals’ denial of a writ petition that sought to halt the trial court’s discovery orders in a wrongful‑death negligence action. The Court held that the petitioner failed to show irreparable injury and that the discovery orders—authorizing inspection of a computer, cellphone and social‑media accounts for up to one year—were not erroneous, overbroad, or contrary to any procedural right. The decision rests on established writ standards and liberal construction of Rule 26.02.
