CIV F 04-5714 AWI DLB

ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S EX

PARTE APPLICATION FOR

AN ORDER SHORTENING

TIME TO HEAR PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION TO QUASH

SUBPOENAS FOR THE

DEPOSITION AND TRIAL

TESTIMONY OF DR. DAVID

BUSCH 

Trial in this matter is currently set for May 23, 2006. Plaintiff has filed a motion to quash

the deposition and trial testimony of Dr. David Busch, an infectious diseases expert who was

retained by then co-defendant Dr. Kent Tonnemacher. In connection with this motion to quash,

Plaintiff has filed an ex parte application for an order shortening time to set and hear her motion

to quash. Given the significance of the issue and the closeness to trial, the Court will grant

Plaintiff’s ex parte application to shorten time. 

After the hearing on the motions in limine, the Court allowed additional briefing. The

additional motions in limine/briefing were to be filed on May 10 and replies filed on May 15. 

The Court stated that it would review the information and contact the parties to set a hearing date

and time for either a telephonic or in court hearing. In light of this briefing schedule, the Court

will utilize this schedule with some modification for Plaintiff’s motion to quash.
