United States Tenth Circuit

In an action raising claims of unlawful disclosure of plaintiff's confidential medical information and emotional distress, summary judgment for defendant-Walgreen is affirmed where: 1) the court did not abuse its discretion in denying plaintiff's discovery motions and motions to compel since they were overly broad and defendant had adequately responded to most of plaintiff's requests; and 2) there was insufficient circumstantial evidence to show that an employee of defendant accessed plaintiff's medical records and disclosed her confidential health information.
