Defendants’ employees so that no party suffers excessive burden
caused by another party’s request to depose such employees. No
fact witness shall be deposed for more than seven (7) hours total
absent an agreement between the [p]arties or leave of the [c]ourt.
Each 7 hours of a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition (from a single notice)
constitutes 1 deposition, regardless of the number of witnesses. No
single witness may be deposed longer than 14 hours total even if
deposed in his personal capacity and as a Rule 30(b)(6) witness, and
the [p]arties will work in good faith to limit the total deposition time
of any such witness. No [p]arty will use a Rule 30(b)(6) notice to
seek the legal contentions of the opposing parties. Each side may
serve up to 25 written interrogatories and up to 40 requests for
admission upon the opposing side, not including any requests for
admission relating to authenticity. Discrete subparts in any
interrogatory will each count as a separate interrogatory.6
