caused by another party’s request to depose such employees. No 

fact witness shall be deposed for more than seven (7) hours total 

absent an agreement between the [p]arties or leave of the [c]ourt.

single witness may be deposed longer than 14 hours total even if

of any such witness. No [p]arty will use a Rule 30(b)(6) notice to 

seek the legal contentions of the opposing parties. Each side may 

serve up to 25 written interrogatories and up to 40 requests for 

admission upon the opposing side, not including any requests for 

admission relating to authenticity. Discrete subparts in any 

interrogatory will each count as a separate interrogatory.6
