Galaviz-Zamora v. Brady Farms, Inc. -- USDC WD Mich. Southern Div. (September 23, 2005) - 2005 US Dist. LEXIS 22120
The court granted a protective order barring discovery of information (SSN, tax records, etc.) that were "designed to uncover Plaintiffs' immigration status."
The court held that information about that status was not relevant to any of the issues in the case, which involved the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Agricultural Workers Protection Act (AWPA). The court also mentioned the "detrimental impact resulting from irrelevant inquiries into a worker's immigration status."
