Tateo, 377 U.S. 463, 466, 84 S.Ct. 1587, 12 L.Ed.2d 448 (1964). 4 . The Double Jeopardy Clause applies to both individuals and corporations. United States v. Martin Linen Supply Co., 430 U.S. 564, 97 S.Ct. 1349, 51 L.Ed.2d 642 (1977). 5 . Compare Brown, 432 U.S. at 169, 97 S.Ct. 2221 (<HOLDING>) with Ciucci v. Illinois, 356 U.S. 571, 78

PROBLEM: between 1983 and 1986. Stanley's engineer, Hreha, was present throughout Powers' deposition. The Court revisits its ruling upon further contemplation of the purpose of a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition. In a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition, there is no distinction between the corporate representative and the corporation. See United States v. Taylor, 166 F.R.D. 356, 361 (M.D.N.C.1996) (noting that in a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition "[t]he corporation appears vicariously through its designee"). "The Rule 30(b)(6) designee does not give his personal opinion. Rather, he presents the corpo ration's 'position' on the topic." Id. (citing cases). The designee testifies on behalf of the corporation and holds it accountable accordingly. See Starlight Int'l, Inc., v. Herlihy, 186 F.R.D. 626, 688 (D.Kan.1999) (<HOLDING>) (quoting Audiotext Communications Network,

PROBLEM: a plain, speedy and efficient remedy may be had in the courts of such State." The Tax Injunction Act applies not only to actions to "enjoin, suspend, or restrain" state taxation, but also to declaratory judgment actions such as the instant case. See California v. Grace Brethren Church, 457 U.S. 393, 408, 102 S.Ct. 2498, 2507, 73 L.Ed.2d 93 (1982). Because Congress's intent in enacting the TIA was to "prevent federal-court interference with the assessment and collection of state taxes," district courts are without jurisdiction to issue declaratory judgments invalidating state taxes unless no "plain, speedy and efficient remedy" exists in state courts. Id. at 411, 102 S.Ct. 2498; see also 28 U.S.C. 1341; Bank of New England Old Colony, N.A. v. Clark, 986 F.2d 600, 602 (1st Cir.1993) (<HOLDING>). Plaintiff does not claim that remedies under
