ORDER REGARDING
DEPOSITIONS
GEOFFREY SCOTT CARROLL,
14
Defendant.
/

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.
