filing Objections to transcript counter designations to August 

4, 2015. 

 Gerard St. Jovite, father of the deceased and one of 

the Plaintiffs in this action, has recently suffered multiple 

cardiac events and is now suffering with various related 

medical conditions for which he has just had two successive 

major surgeries which will preclude his ability to testify at 

trial. Defendants did not take his deposition prior to this 

time, and Plaintiffs had anticipated his testimony to be 

presented, live, at trial. That is no longer possible given 

his medical condition. 

 The parties request that the Court extend the 

deadline for the taking of Mr. St. Jovite's deposition to July 

27, 2015, in order to allow the parties to preserve his 

testimony for presentation at trial which is scheduled to 

start on August 4, 2015. 

 The parties agree that Mr. St. Jovite’s deposition 

will be videotaped, with Plaintiffs bearing all costs related 

to the audio/video recording of the deposition and expediting 

the transcript. The parties further agree that the jury will 

not be told why Mr. St. Jovite could not appear in person at 

the trial (i.e., his medical conditions).
