There are probably few things more irritating, when examining a deponent, than having the defending lawyers repeatedly interrupt and claim they don't understand your questions. It's bad enough when witnesses feign ignorance of the obvious. But the opposing lawyers, too? In this episode, Jim Garrity tackles the subject of lawyers who engage in obstruction-by-colloquy, and how to deal with it. Helpful case citations in the show notes, below. Thanks for listening.SHOW NOTESMusto, et al. v. Transport Workers Union of America, AFL – CIO, et al., 2009 WL 116960 (E. D. New York January 16, 2009) (attorney may not “interpret” questions for deponent, or engage in lengthy speaking objections and colloquy; “the witness comes to the deposition to testify, not to indulge in a parody of Charlie McCarthy, with lawyers coaching or bending the witness's words to mold a legally convenient record”)Security National Bank of Sioux City Iowa v. Abbott Laboratories, 299 F.R.D. 595 (N. D. Iowa July 28, 2014 (“Lawyers may not object simply because they find a question to be vague, nor may they assume that the witness will not understand the question. The witness—not the lawyer—gets to decide whether he or she understands a particular question”; “[w]hile it is impossible to know for certain what a witness would have said absent Counsel's objections, I find it inconceivable that the witnesses deposed in this case would so regularly request clarification were they not tipped-off by Counsel's objections”)Chesbrough et al. v. Life Care Centers of America, Inc., 31 Mass.L.Rptr. 629 (Sup. Ct. Mass Feb. 14, 2014) (“If the deponent does not understand the question, or the meaning of a word or phrase, or even if the deponent has a question about a document, he or she should ask the questioning attorney”)Applied Telematics, Inc. v. Sprint Corporation, 1995 WL 79237, Civ. A. No. 94–CV–4603 (E.D. Penn. Feb. 22, 1995) (“In addition, plaintiff's attorney may not object to a question that the attorney does not understand. As stated in Hall, “a lawyer's purported lack of understanding is not a proper reason to interrupt a deposition.” Nor may the lawyer state for the record what his understanding of the question is. Id. These types of responses by an attorney are irrelevant and suggestive of a particularly desired answer. Id. If the witness does not understand the question, or needs some language further defined or some documents further explained, the witness can ask the deposing lawyer to clarify or further explain the question”)Peronis v. United States, 2017 WL 696132, Case No. 2:16-cv-01389-NBF (W.D. Penn. Feb. 17, 2017) “ ‘A deposition is meant to be a question-and-answer conversation between the deposing lawyer and the witness.' ” Johnson v. Wayne Manor Apartments, 152 F.R.D. 56, 59 (E.D. Pa. 1993) (quoting Hall v. Clifton Precision, 150 F.R.D. 525, 528 (E.D. Pa. 1993)). “ ‘There is no proper need for the witness's own lawyer to act as an intermediary, interpreting questions, deciding which questions the witness should answer, and helping the witness to formulate answers")Community Association Underwriters of America, Inc. v. Queensboro Flooring Corp., 2014 WL 3055358, Civil Action No. 3:10–CV–1559. (M. D. Penn. July 3, 2014) (Under the federal rules, an attorney is not permitted to object to form and demand clarification of a question the attorney claims not to understand; the witness should be permitted to answer the question posed, or to ask for clarification herself if she does not understand the question. See Birdine v. City of Coatesville, 225 F.R.D. 157, 159 (E.D.Pa.2004); Hall, 150 F.R.D. at 530 n. 10. Moreover, “lawyers are strictly prohibited from making any comments ...which might suggest or limit a witness's answer to an unobjectionable question.” Hall, 150 F.R.D. at 531; see also Deville v. Givaudan Fragrances Corp., 419 Fed. App'x 201, 209 (3d Cir.2011) (affirming Rule 30(d)(2) sanctions imposed when attorney “testified on behalf of her witness by way of suggestive speaking objections”); Birdine, 225 F.R.D. at 159 (objection that deponent “already testified that within five feet was the closest he got” was improperly suggestive). Likewise, “counsel are not permitted to state on the record their interpretations of questions, since those interpretations are irrelevant and often suggestive of a particularly desired answer")

in a conversation with other lawyers recently, Jim Garrity was asked whether more than one lawyer for a party can question the witness in a deposition. This episode addresses that topic, explains how courts view it, and offers practical suggestions, as always, if you face or wish to use this strategy.

App. Ga. 1992) (plaintiffs complained that trial judge erred in allowing two of defendant bank's attorneys to question a single witness; held, any error in allowing two attorneys to question witness was harmless, saying “Although we can envision situations in which such “double-teaming” would constitute harmful error, we are not persuaded by. . .the circumstances of this case that it was necessarily error to permit two attorneys to question the same witness”).In re Cummins, 144 B.R. 426 (U.S. Bktcy Ct W.D. Ark. 1992) (plaintiff sought protective order forbidding more than one attorney for defendant to examine him at deposition; held, “The court agrees that examination by multiple attorneys represent in one party may be oppressive,” citing FRE 611(a) generally but no specific rule that otherwise forbids it)Caplan v. Fellheimer Eichen Braverman & Kaskey, 161 F.R.D. 32 (E.D. Pa. 1995) (nonparty witness moved for order preventing different lawyer from questioning her when deposition resumed on the second day; held, while local rule limited examination or cross-examination of a witness to only one attorney for a party, unless otherwise permitted by the court, there was no reason to prevent a more senior lawyer from resuming the deposition first commenced by a junior lawyer with the same firm)Applied Telematics, Inc. v. Sprint Corporation, 1995 WL 79237 (E.D. Penn. 1995) (defendant's motion for protective order, seeking to limit number of lawyers who could question witnesses, would be granted; held, the examination cross-examination during a deposition proceed in the same manner as at trial, citing FRCP 30(c), and citing FRE 611 for the notion that the mode and order of interrogating witnesses must be to ascertain the truth, avoid needless consumption of time, and protect witnesses from harassment or undue embarrassment)Continental Casualty Company v. Compass Bank, 2005 WL 8158673 (S. D. Alabama 2006) (court declined to sanction defense lawyer for objecting multiple times in depositions being defended by his co-counsel, saying there appeared to be no specific rule forbidding it, and citing the Applied Telematics case)Bund v. Safeguard Properties LLC, 2021 WL 1546086 (W.D. Wash. 2021) (striking testimony of witness, as sanction for conduct of defense counsel in having second attorney question witness in allegedly harassing manner, citing local rule that limited examination of a witness at trial to one attorney; held, because FRCP 30 says the examination of a witness should proceed as if at trial, and because the local rule in that district limited trial examinations to one attorney, it was improper to have two attorneys conduct the examination in a deposition)Finjan, Inc. v. CISCO Systems, Inc., 2019 WL 7753437 (S.D. Calif. 2019) (held, defendant in patent infringement case would not be allowed to have two attorneys question the same expert witness, notwithstanding that at least one expert submitted a 2,000 page report, not including exhibits, and that different lawyers for CISCO had expertise in different patents at issue; court acknowledged that CISCO was “correct that there is no written rule categorically prohibiting deposition questioning by more than one attorney”)Rockwell International, Inc. v.

[6:29] Josh notes that many individuals who serve in the military do end up in leadership roles in the franchising industry. [11:38] After working for HR Block for 8 years, Brant decided to make the transition over to TBC Corp. [13:36] Josh comments that one of the biggest challenges franchisors have is making sure the sales process matches up with ideal franchisee candidates. [17:51] One of the biggest factors in choosing franchisee candidates in Brant’s opinion is analyzing their “why”. [21:19] Brant explains that the Midas franchise is 100% franchised, meaning there are no corporate owned locations. [28:33] In Brant’s opinion, having name brand recognition helps with TBC Franchise Group’s success, but in the end, everything comes down to service and trust.

Sprint Corporation and T-Mobile USA are once again in talks of a merger, and I explain what exactly we know so far.

On Monday, T-Mobile US, Inc. and Sprint Corporation committed to the FCC that they would take a series of significant steps if the companies’ merger application is approved. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai responded to these new commitments with the following statements.

After I graduated from college, I moved back home with my parents and started an entry level job with the Sprint Corporation.  My sister gave me a book called 'Maximum Achievement' by Brian Tracy. In this book, Mr. Tracy recommended having written goals.  I fumbled my way through the goal setting process, but it got me started and I got better at it as I went along. In this episode, I walk you through my original goals, critique them and then explain what I would do differently today.  My most important recommendation lies in the book I recommended for the month of August entitled 'The 10X Rule' by Grant Cardone.

On April 20, 2017, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) initiated a proceeding to assess the regulatory barriers the wireless industry faces as it deploys the infrastructure necessary to provide broadband services to its customers. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPRM”) examines how state and local regulatory processes impact the efficiency, timeliness and cost of infrastructure deployment. Notably, the NPRM seeks comment on whether sitting applications that are not acted on by state or local governments within a reasonable period of time should be “deemed granted” by Commission rules. The FCC also seeks input on the costs and benefits inherent in the statutorily mandated historic preservation and environmental review processes and asks what changes could be made to minimize costs and delays. In a separate Notice of Inquiry (“NOI” ) the FCC seeks comment on two provisions of the Communications Act, Sections 253 and 332, that acknowledge the importance of state and local regulation but also protect against regulations that impose barriers to entry or are otherwise unreasonable. A robust record has been developed in response to the NPRM and NOI and this Teleforum will examine the key arguments raised in the proceeding and offer perspectives from leading policy experts. Former FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adlestein, now President & CEO, of The Wireless Infrastructure Association, Robert McDowell also a former FCC Commissioner and current partner at Cooley LLP, and Brad Ramsey, General Counsel of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), will offer their insights on the FCC proceeding and the state and local regulatory regimes that may be impacted by the proposed changes to the FCC rules. Gardner Foster, Senior Counsel of the Sprint Corporation, will moderate the discussion. Featuring:Jonathan Adelstein, President & CEO, The Wireless Infrastructure AssociationHon. Robert M.
