Gillis et al v. Wilhelm et al
Filing 177
ORDER: Defendants may exceed seven hours in conducting the depositions of (a) Bruce Raynor, (b) Mark Fleischman, (c) Brent Garren, and (d) Keith Mestrich, but, absent Plaintiffs' consent, none of these depositions shall exceed 14 hours without further leave of Court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(d)(1). At this juncture, the Court is hard-pressed to understand how any individual or entity other than UNITE HERE could assert attorney-client privilege as to confidential communications between officers of UNITE HERE and its general counsel, regarding matters involving the union or any of its constituent parts. Nonetheless, Plaintiffs' counsel may instruct a witness not to answer a deposition question that the witness and counsel believe, in good faith, would call for the disclosure of privileged information.
