STATE OF MICHIGAN
IN THE THIRD JUDICIAL CIRCUIT FOR THE COUNTY OF WAYNE
FAMILY DIVISION, DOMESTIC RELATIONS
ADRIENNE MARJORIE ROCKENHAUS, Case No. 26-104594-DO
Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant,
Hon. Nicole N. Goodson
v.
CONRAD ALAN ROCKENHAUS,
Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff.
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT/COUNTER-PLAINTIFF'S EMERGENCY MOTION
FOR PRESERVATION ORDER AND ORDER PROHIBITING SPOLIATION OF
EVIDENCE
At a session of said Court held in the City of Detroit, County of Wayne, State of Michigan on
_____________________, 2026.
PRESENT: Hon. Nicole N. Goodson, Circuit Judge
This matter having come before the Court on Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff Conrad Alan Rockenhaus's
Emergency Motion for Preservation Order and Order Prohibiting Spoliation of Evidence filed May 13, 2026;
and
The Court having considered the Motion, Defendant's contemporaneously filed Chain of Custody
Supplement, the records and files in this proceeding, and the applicable law including MCR 3.310, MCR
2.310, MCR 2.302(B)(6), and the Court's inherent equitable authority; and
The Court being fully advised in the premises;
THE COURT FINDS THAT:
1. On May 12, 2026, default was entered against Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant on Defendant's Counterclaim
pursuant to MCR 2.603(A), rendering the factual averments of the Counterclaim conclusively admitted as
to liability. Wood v. Detroit Auto. Inter-Ins. Exch., 413 Mich. 573, 582 (1982).
2. The factual record set forth in the Motion at §§III.A through III.I establishes both the operational capacity
and the demonstrated pattern of Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant to engage in conduct that risks spoliation of
evidence material to the deemed-admitted Counterclaim.
3. Electronic evidence held at third-party platforms is uniquely susceptible to immediate destruction by the
account holder, with limited or no retention-window recovery available after deletion. Brenner v. Kolk,
226 Mich. App. 149, 162 (1997).
4. Defendant has demonstrated each of the four factors articulated in Pontiac Fire Fighters Union Local 376
v. City of Pontiac, 482 Mich. 1, 8 (2008): likelihood of success on the merits (established by the May 12,
2026 entry of default); irreparable injury (electronic evidence subject to single-user spoliation at platforms
with limited retention); balance of harms (no cognizable harm to Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant who has no
legitimate interest in destroying evidence); and consistency with the public interest in the integrity of the
judicial process.
5. The factual record at §III.A of the Motion (vacation of the marital residence at 26695 Ross Drive on May
9 and 10, 2026 without forwarding information) and at §III.H of the Motion (coordinated multi-wave
cessation of public content across eleven X sockpuppet accounts between March 17 and April 11, 2026)
establish that the threatened spoliation is imminent on a timeline incompatible with the speed of ordinary
motion practice.
6. The ex parte component of the relief is justified under MCR 3.310(B)(1)(a) on the showing of facts
demonstrating that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result before Plaintiff/Counter-
Defendant can be heard in opposition.
7. The security requirement of MCR 3.310(D) is appropriately waived on the basis that the relief imposes
no cognizable harm on Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
A. CATEGORICAL PRESERVATION
Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant Adrienne Marjorie Rockenhaus, her agents, servants, employees, attorneys,
and all persons acting in concert or participation with her with notice of this Order, shall preserve, in their
current form and without alteration, all of the following categories of evidence:
