WASHINGTON, D.C. / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2026 / Legal counsel for Plaintiff Derrick Sieber confirmed today that a formal Motion for Targeted Discovery has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, Case No. 1:24-cv-03247.

The motion seeks a strictly limited, court-supervised two and a half hour oral deposition of Attorney General Brian Schwalb, alongside the production of internal municipal communications and telephonic logs.

The underlying federal lawsuit, brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleges a continuous civil rights conspiracy involving D.C. Attorney General Schwalb and several directors and attorneys in his Office. Plaintiffs' Targeted Discovery Motion is limited to the topics of jury tampering and the ex parte alteration of D.C. Code § 28-3904(f) found in the D.C. Consumer Protection Procedures Act 28 D.C.
