Michigan Court of Claims — Dr. Bradley Foerster’s Interrogatories Seek University of Michigan Peer Review Decision and Basis (Case No. 26-000016-MZ)

A formal discovery request by Dr. Bradley Foerster seeks the University of Michigan’s written peer review decision and the basis for that decision.
The University has asserted exemption but has not stated whether such records exist.
These interrogatories require the University to state, under oath, whether the decision exists, who created it, and where it is maintained.


On April 22, 2026, Dr. Bradley Foerster served a first set of interrogatories, requests for production, and requests for admission in the Michigan Court of Claims in Foerster v. University of Michigan (Case No. 26-000016-MZ).

The requests are directed to a single issue: whether a written peer review decision and statement of basis concerning Dr. Bradley Foerster were created in 2018, and if so, why those records have not been produced, following the litigated FOIA appeal concerning the peer review decision and basis.
