ORDER REGARDING DEPOSITIONS GEOFFREY SCOTT CARROLL, 14 Defendant. / 15 16 In this trademark action, defendant filed a Section 1404(a) motion to transfer. Plaintiff 17 filed an opposition brief and objects to new evidence included in defendant’s reply. To the 18 extent below, the parties’ request to modify the previously ordered deposition schedule is 19 GRANTED. 20 Plaintiff has until March 8, 2013 to conduct depositions of defendant and his physician in 21 New York. Each deposition will be three hours with one fifteen-minute break. If a deposition is 22 obstructed by an undue number of objections, this court will consider allowing additional 23 depositions at defendant’s expense. The scope of the depositions and supplemental briefings is 24 limited to defendant’s medical condition that may limit his ability to travel. If properly limited 25 to that topic, the depositions will not count toward the seven-hour limit as set by the Federal 26 Rules of Civil Procedure. However, if plaintiff so chooses, it may use its normally allotted seven 27 hours to cover defendant’s medical condition and any other matter relevant to the merits of this 28 action. 1 Both sides will file supplemental briefs regarding defendant’s medical condition by 2 March 19, 2013. The new date for the hearing on defendant’s motion will be held on March 28, 3 2013. 4 5 IT IS SO ORDERED. 6 7 Dated: February 11, 2013.
