ORDER RE LAWRENCE POPE

Abbott has not supplied good cause to renege on its counsel’s representation that Abbott

would not call Mr. Pope as a witness at trial. Abbott was on clear notice of the issues at the

deposition, contrary to its assertion now. Also, Abbott claims he would testify only as to

matters covered without objection in the deposition. If so, the excerpts can be read in by Abbott

as cross designation subject to any objection in the normal way. The objection to adding Mr.

Pope as a live witness by Abbott is sustained.
