          That can happen if you’re distracted accidentally shooting yourself in the back of the head twice.

    Important context:

    • Data was recovered
    • Plaintiff does not believe it was purposeful
    • Cost plaintiff a week’s work
    • Plaintiff has already spent 150 hours going through data
