It was not until Plaintiffs&#8217; Response Brief that Plaintiffs argued the Proposed Deponents had to be produced pursuant to notices of deposition because they are officers or managerial agents of WTNY. WTNY had the right to rebut that argument by reminding Plaintiffs the Proposed Deponents do not have roles as officers, directors, or managing agents so that a Rule 45 subpoena, rather than a mere notice, is required. Therefore, WTNY respectfully requests the Court deny Plaintiffs&#8217; Motion to Strike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>250-0 Watchtower Response Brief<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1239,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"doc_categories":[75],"doc_tags":[76],"doc_author":[],"file_type":[14],"class_list":["post-2757","dlp_document","type-dlp_document","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","doc_categories-caecaert-v-watchtower","doc_tags-caekaert-v-watchtower","file_type-pdf"],"download_url":"https:\/\/jwchildabuse.org\/xqllht\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/250-0-Watchtower-Respnse-Brief-RE-Plaintiffs-Motion-to-Strike-and-Order-Depositions-Taken-as-Noticed.pdf","file_size":"1,015 KB","filename":"250-0-Watchtower-Respnse-Brief-RE-Plaintiffs-Motion-to-Strike-and-Order-Depositions-Taken-as-Noticed.pdf","download_count":"2","version_history":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jwchildabuse.org\/xqllht\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dlp_document\/2757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jwchildabuse.org\/xqllht\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dlp_document"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jwchildabuse.org\/xqllht\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/dlp_document"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jwchildabuse.org\/xqllht\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jwchildabuse.org\/xqllht\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2757"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jwchildabuse.org\/xqllht\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jwchildabuse.org\/xqllht\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jwchildabuse.org\/xqllht\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_categories?post=2757"},{"taxonomy":"doc_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jwchildabuse.org\/xqllht\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_tags?post=2757"},{"taxonomy":"doc_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jwchildabuse.org\/xqllht\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_author?post=2757"},{"taxonomy":"file_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jwchildabuse.org\/xqllht\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/file_type?post=2757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
