Heading: Threats to Ginsberg

Text: The Motion further mentioned that Shuker threatened to file a bar grievance against Ginsberg during the deposition of Charles Baron on August 9, 2005. In our view, Shuker's conduct is understandable in context. At the recusal hearing, Shuker testified that during a previous deposition Ginsberg interrupted him on numerous occasions and even stopped the deposition mid-question to take Knight (the deponent) out of the room. Knight allegedly returned to the deposition and, without being asked a related question, immediately retracted a previous answer. During the Baron deposition Shuker testified that he threatened Ginsberg with the filing of a bar grievance if Ginsberg continued with the same conduct. Shuker did not want Ginsberg to further interfere with the deposition by telling Baron how to respond to questions. Shuker explained that he threatened a bar grievance to stop this unethical conduct. Ginsberg does not contest his alleged conduct.
