LARRY BOWOTO, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

 CHEVRON CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 99-02506 SI

ORDER PERMITTING DEFENDANTS

TO REOPEN THE DEPOSITION OF

BASSEY JEJE

The Court is presented once again with a dispute between the parties regarding plaintiff Bassey

Jeje’s failure to produce the bullet he claims was shot at him during the events at issue in this litigation.

The Court previously ruled that plaintiff Jeje may not raise his own arguments regarding the bullet, but

that defendants may address the bullet at trial. See February 27, 2008 Order, Docket No. 1728.

Defendants now complain that because Jeje no longer plans to attend the trial, they will have no

opportunity to cross-examine him regarding the bullet unless they are permitted to depose him prior to

trial. The Court had anticipated that Jeje would be available for cross-examination at trial, and finds

that because he will not testify at trial, defendants may reopen his deposition to ask questions limited

to the existence of the bullet and the circumstances surrounding its disappearance.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
