Approximately 3 years ago in Danis v. USN Communications, 2000 WL 1694325 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 23, 2000), Magistrate Judge Schenkier stated: “At some point, a party and/or its attorneys must be held responsible for knowing what documents are discoverable and where to find them.” He prefaced this statement by reasoning that we cannot create a loophole in the discovery rules by allowing counsel to argue: “Judge, we just didn't know those tapes existed.”

In recent years, there has been a growing number of dry cleaners claiming to be "organic," "green," or "eco-friendly." While that may be true with respect to some, many dry cleaners continue to use a cleaning method involving the use of a solvent called perchloroethylene, commonly known as perc.
