ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING
IN PART PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER (DKT. 16)
Before the Court is Plaintiff Herbert John Gobie’s (“Plaintiff”) motion for protective order
(Dkt. 16). The issue presented in Plaintiff’s motion concerns the location of Plaintiff’s deposition
(Plaintiff is a resident of the United Kingdom). Having reviewed the motion, considered the
argument of the parties, and otherwise being fully advised;
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART.
Plaintiff’s deposition may proceed via video conference – at Plaintiff’s expense – if Plaintiff so
chooses. Specifically, any costs related to conducting a video deposition, above and beyond what
it would cost to depose Plaintiff in-person in the Eastern District of Michigan, shall be borne by
Plaintiff. Alternatively, if Plaintiff does not choose to proceed with a video deposition, then he must
appear for an in-person deposition in the Eastern District of Michigan.
SO ORDERED.
