Plaintiffs,
v.
BRUCE WILLIAM GEORGE, et al.,
Defendants.

Case No. 4:18cv142 SNLJ

MEMORANDUM and ORDER
Plaintiffs bring this lawsuit for injuries sustained in a traffic accident on Interstate
64 in St. Charles County, Missouri. Plaintiff sought to depose one of the defendants,
Bruce George, in St. Louis, Missouri. At the time of the accident, defendant George was
traveling from his home state of California to Florida. Although he is subject to
jurisdiction in Missouri, defendant George objects to being deposed in St. Louis because
travel is expensive and interferes with his job as a teacher. Defendant George requested
that the plaintiff depose him in California, by telephone, or by video. Plaintiff refused.
Defendant George thus filed the instant motion to quash and motion for protective
order. (#25.) Plaintiff did not respond to the motion. Because it appears that there is no
reason plaintiff cannot take defendant George’s deposition by phone, by video, or in an
otherwise more convenient location, the Court will grant defendant’s motion.

1

Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant George’s motion to quash and motion
for protective order is GRANTED.
Dated this 3rd

day of December, 2018.
