If he’s in AK, wouldn’t deposing him have to be done there?
For his case against them, wouldn’t LK, RG and JK be deposed first
(Why can’t I figure out multi quote?)
Yes, other parties could be deposed first. But what they shouldn’t do is depose all the other parties and then say ok, we need to wait until some nebulous date in the future for this one last major party to all the claims. If the delay were because, for example, said party was out of the country, and everyone agrees that in person is preferred to a teleconference, then they could set a date after that party’s return. But right now, MB’s status is totally up in the air. That could change based on his next court hearing, which is a few days prior to that date that discovery is supposed to commence. So, from a legal perspective, it will be interesting to see how those dates play out.
I can’t imagine any state run facility is set up with space and privacy required for that many parties, nor can I imagine that facility would want that many people there. Generally speaking, a depo is done in the conference room of the law firm that subpoenaed the party.
