		He argues that Ross Stores refused to produce discovery the trial court ordered to be produced, misled the trial court regarding discovery in its possession, and disingenuously claimed that discovery essential to his claims was destroyed in a flood.
		Ross Stores supported its request to produce discovery via computer records by representing that the substantial equivalent of the information requested could be produced in that form, but its actual production violated the court's order and failed the letter and spirit of full disclosure required by CR 37.

		"Ross Stores' focused growth in existing markets and its maintenance of remarkably stable levels of in-store and per-store inventories have resulted in outsized leverage over buying, occupancy, central overhead and store-level expenses," he said.
