| | Gates Rubber Company v. Bando Chemical Industries, Ltd. |
 | | District Judge Daniel B. Sparr denied the request for the TRO, and held a hearing on March 26, 1992, on Gates' request for injunction. |
 | | Gates argues that it is entitled to an inference that Ikoma destroyed relevant documents and records because Bando cannot prove by clear and convincing evidence that the shredded materials were not relevant documents and records. |
 | | Ikoma testified, through an interpreter, that he destroyed no business records or documents, but merely cleaned up his desk by eliminating such materials as old scratch paper, catalogs, industrial magazines and papers, belt samples, raw material samples, chemical samples, devices and parts for machinery, tourist information, hotel directory, letters and Christmas cards. |
