Biloxi, MS -A federal judge has ordered attorney Richard ``Dickie'' Scruggs to turn over policyholder records to State Farm within 15 days.
The judge says State Farm is entitled to records two former adjusters took and gave to Scruggs that are related to the Hurricane Katrina claim of Thomas and Pamela McIntosh. The couple are suing the insurance company over damage from the 2005 hurricane.
Scruggs hired the former employees, sisters Cori and Kerri Rigsby, 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.
The judge says Scruggs can't be ordered to turn over records he doesn't possess. But he ordered Scruggs to turn over others related
to the McIntosh claim.
