3. Expert Depositions: Absent good cause shown, the parties agree that expert 

depositions will be limited to 7 hours of actual deposition time for each expert, with the 

combined expert time not counting toward the 70 hour deposition time limit. 

4. Depositions of Witnesses On Trial Witness List: The parties also agree that 

each party is entitled to depose, at least four weeks before trial, any witness listed on the other 

party’s trial witness list that (1) has not been previously deposed in this case, or (2) was 

previously deposed as a 30(b)(6) in this case, but whose areas of expected testimony, as 

described in the party’s witness list, are different than the areas for which the witness was 

designated as a 30(b)(6) witness. Such depositions shall be conducted efficiently and shall be 

limited to 5 hours of actual deposition time each. Such depositions, however, would not count 

towards or be restricted by the 70-hour time limitation set forth above.
