P sued D because of its alleged discriminatory promotion policies. P had been an employee of D for 14 years and was terminated. P alleged retaliatory termination and racial discrimination under Title VII. P propounded interrogatories to D under Rule 33 seeking the name, age, sex, educational background, and employment history of all white employees at D's Huntsville plant dating from January 1, 1960; a list of both permanent and temporary job vacancies within the Huntsville plant and background information on both those applicants who competed for the jobs and those who were selected; and a job description of each non-bargaining unit job at the Huntsville plant. P objected contending that P sought irrelevant information and that it would be unduly burdensome to answer. The District Court sustained these objections in an oral, unrecorded order. P went to trial and lost and now appeals.
