ORDER

This matter is before the Court upon the Defendant’s Motion to Strike the Deposition of
Al Tec (Doc. No. 35). Although the Court held a telephone conference with the parties
regarding this motion shortly after it was filed, the motion was never formally ruled upon.
During the telephone conference, the Court recalls instructing the parties to reconvene the
deposition with a Tagalog interpreter. The Court is informed that such deposition was never
scheduled. The Court has reviewed the filings of the parties, including the rough draft of the
deposition at issue, and finds that the witness was able to communicate sufficiently well in
English. Accordingly,
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Strike the Deposition of Al
Tec (Doc. No. 35) is hereby DENIED.
Signed: March 29, 2017
