WILLIAM TAPLEY, et al.

DEFENDANTS

LUTHER SUTTER; LUCIEN GILLHAM; and
SUTTER & GILLHAM, PLLC

RESPONDENTS

ORDER
Brittany Byrd’s motion to quash and for protective order [Doc. No. 74] is granted in
part. The notice of deposition for May 13, 2024, is quashed because Byrd’s counsel is
unavailable that day. Depositions are permitted but must be limited to issues related to the
attorney’s lien. See Doc. No. 70.
A ruling on Byrd’s request to exclude counsel for defendants from her deposition and
for a protective order is deferred so that defendants have time to respond.
The clerk is directed to mail a copy of this order to Sutter and Gillham.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 10th day of May, 2024.
