Plaintiff,
vs.
STEVE MEINBERG, et al.,
Defendants.

Case No. 4:12-CV-1824-JAR

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Defendant Wes Wagner’s Motion for Leave to Depose
Plaintiff. (Doc. No. 50) Plaintiff objects to the motion. Plaintiff added Wes Wagner as a party
defendant on December 11, 2013 (Doc. No. 41), nearly four months after being deposed in this
matter. He cannot now say that Defendant Wagner is not entitled to conduct discovery on matters
related to the claims brought against him. For this reason the Court finds Defendant Wes Wagner
is entitled to conduct further deposition of Plaintiff and will grant his motion for leave.
Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(a)(2). The deposition shall be limited to new matters or old matters that relate to
the new party defendant Wes Wagner and shall not be repetitive.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Wes Wagner’s Motion for Leave to Depose
Plaintiff [50] is GRANTED with the limitations set forth herein.
Dated this 17th day of March, 2014.
