SNELL, Justice.

This is an interlocutory appeal from a district court order compelling defendant, B.F. Goodrich Company (BFG), to produce documents or information it claims are not in its possession, custody or control. Upon review, we conclude that the record does not support a finding of control sufficient to induce discovery. We reverse the district court order and remand for further proceedings.
