The parties have submitted a joint letter regarding whether a second day of plaintiff Susan
14
Hunt’s deposition should be allowed. It should. Wide-ranging employment disputes, such as the
15
one alleged by Hunt, often require longer depositions of the plaintiff, the principal witness, than
16
the seven hour limit in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(d)(1).
17
Defendants may depose Hunt for an additional four hours. They should not repeat any
18
topics on which she has already been deposed unless they have received discovery that was not
19
produced at the time of the first day of her deposition that is relevant to an issue about which she
20
has already been questioned.
