JOSHUA D. BLAND, Plaintiff, v. REUBEN A. SALAZAR, II, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S EX PARTE MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM COURT REPORTER PHYSICAL PRESENCE REQUIREMENT UNDER FED. RULE CIV. P. 28
(ECF No. 61)
On December 9, 2021, Defendant filed an ex parte motion for relief from court reporter physical presence requirement under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 28. (ECF No. 61).
The Court finds that Defendant has made the appropriate showing. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's motion is GRANTED. The court reporter is not required to be in the same physical location as Plaintiff during his deposition. This order applies nunc pro tunc to the extent Plaintiffs deposition took place before the issuance of this order.
While the Court is granting Defendant's motion, the Court notes that Defendant filed the motion on December 9, 2021, and that the deposition is scheduled for December 10, 2021. This is not a sufficient time for the Court to timely address such a motion.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
