U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke sanctioned Greenberg Traurig LLP, for “negligently” failing to turn over documents to Coquina Investments, which won a $67 million verdict against TD Bank.  Coquina claimed after that verdict that TD Bank and Greenberg Traurig withheld documents they were required to disclose.
