ORDER on objections to deposition designation. Signed by Judge Billy Roy Wilson.(DM)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NORTH DAKOTA
DONALD WEESE

KODIAK OIL & GAS (USA) n/k/a
WHITING RESOURCES CORPORATION

DEFENDANT

ORDER
Dr. Blake Johnson Deposition
Plaintiff’s objection to page 49, line 18, through page 50, line 16, is OVERRULED.
Steven Beede Deposition
Plaintiff’s objection to page 16, line 10 through page 25, line 17 is SUSTAINED. It is
possible that Plaintiff’s testimony may open the door, but counsel should approach the bench out
of the hearing of the jury if counsel believes the door has been opened.
Plaintiff’s objection to page 49, lines 4 through 13, is OVERRULED. If Plaintiff’s
objection is correct, and this has already been covered, then I’ll sustain the objection because it
would be cumulative.
Plaintiff’s objection to page 50, line 4 through 9, is SUSTAINED.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 20th day of August, 2019.
