Telephonic Proceeding for Mid-Deposition Dispute
Plaintiffs’ counsel initiated a telephone call to the Court concerning the proper scope of
questions for the deposition, then in progress, of defendant Dr. Taylor Fithian. Counsel stated
their respective positions. Because the parties were unprepared to present the Court with the
specific questions in dispute, the Court noted that it did not have very helpful information upon
which to resolve the matter. Nevertheless, the Court provided some general guidance as to
matters about which the deponent could be questioned.
