PC Connection, Inc. v. Dayton Crabtree
Doc. 20
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
PC Connection, Inc. v. Dayton Crabtree ORDER Civil No. 10-cv-348-LM
The court denies defendant's motion to appear telephonically (Doc. No. 17), but will permit defendant to appear by video conference. Though defendant has not indicated
that he wishes to testify, plaintiff has reserved the right to call defendant in its case in chief. (Doc. No. 18). Testimony
by telephone would not allow the court to observe the defendant's demeanor and might impede plaintiff's ability to effectively cross-examine defendant. See Kiman v. New Hampshire
Dept. of Corrections, 2008 WL 649128, *4 (denying request for testimony by telephone but allowing testimony by video conference).
SO ORDERED. ____________________________ Landya B. McCafferty United States Magistrate Judge Dated: cc: October 4, 2010
Anne E. Trevethick, Esq. Steven E. Grill, Esq. Dayton Crabtree, pro se
