Civil Action 7:08-CV-5 (HL).
May 17, 2011
ORDER
This memorializes the orders issued during the telephone conference held on May 17, 2011 with regard to Plaintiff Askew's Motion for Deposition by Remote Means (Doc. 107).
The Motion for Deposition is denied. The Court finds that the Defendants are entitled to see Plaintiff Askew as he gives his deposition. Therefore, Plaintiff Askew may either return to the Middle District of Georgia to give his deposition on May 19, or he can appear at the conference facility in Germany, where his deposition will be broadcast to Atlanta via video. The parties are ordered to split the cost of renting the conference facilities. If Plaintiff Askew fails to appear for his deposition on May 19 either in person or at the conference facility, or fails to pay for his portion of the rental fee, his complaint will be dismissed. The Attorney General's office will pay for the court reporter, who will be present in Germany with Plaintiff Askew.
