DEFENDANT KENT D. WAKEFORD'S NOTICE OF HIS OBJECTION TO PLAINTIFF SEC'S COUNTER-DESIGNATION OF TESTIMONY FROM THE 2007 DEPOSITION OF JOHN TULI Defendant Kent D. Wakeford, through undersigned counsel, hereby gives notice of his objection to a counter-designation of testimony from the 2007 deposition of John Tuli. The SEC has identified page 151, line 2 to page 152, line 2. (Exhibit A) This portion of the deposition is beyond the scope of the testimony Mr. Wakeford will introduce in his case-in-chief. Mr. Wakeford has designated four brief parts of Mr. Tuli's 2007 deposition. (Exhibit B) All address the brief communication between Mr. Wakeford and Mr. Tuli regarding the confirmation letter Mr. Tuli received relating to AuctioNet. The subject counter-designation addresses a letter from Eric Baxley to Scott Miller. In the excerpt, Plaintiff's counsel probes whether Mr. Tuli dictated the letter to Mr. Baxley and whether Mr. Tuli disputes Mr. Baxley's deposition testimony regarding that letter. As the subject is well-beyond the scope of the direct and neither Mr. Baxley nor Mr. Miller is even mentioned in Mr. Wakeford's designations, this counter-designation should be excluded.
