SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah federal judge has refused to order Wright Medical to produce 20 years’ worth of emails in a case targeting its metal-on-metal hip system, ruling that the discovery is not relevant because it relates to conduct not implicated in the action.
In a May 22 order, Chief Magistrate Judge Paul M.

The judge found that discovery was also not relevant.
