oral argument was held on April 5, 2012. Being otherwise fully advised,
IT IS ORDERED that the motion is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that before Mayor Bing may be deposed, Plaintiff must first
direct specific interrogatories to the Mayor on issues that would be raised at deposition. After
receiving and reviewing responses to those interrogatories, Plaintiff may depose the Mayor at his
convenience – for a maximum of two hours – if she still deems his deposition necessary.
