July 8, 2012 NOTICE of Ruling. MINUTE ORDER: The Attorney General has requested to present a witness' live testimony and also have this Court rely on the deposition designations for that same witness. The Attorney General claims that, given the time constraints, it will present truncated live testimony that will be supplemented by the deposition designations. Texas opposes this request. According to Texas, a witness should either be presented live or through deposition testimony, but not both. The Court overrules Texas' objection. The Court finds that the scheduling difficulties and strict time constraints for the presentation of evidence in this three-judge trial constitute an "exceptional circumstance" within the meaning of Fed. R. Civ. P. 32(a)(4)(E), so that the Attorney General may proceed in this fashion, and Texas and the Defendant-Intervenors may cross-examine the witness in court and/or cross-designate portions of the witness' deposition testimony as they deem appropriate and as their scheduling priorities direct. See SCM Corp. v. Xerox Corp., 76 F.R.D. 214, 216 n.2 (D. Conn. 1977) ("[i]f some brief portions of the deposition concern relatively non-controversial matters, as to which an opportunity to assess credibility by observing the witness is not important, such portions may be admissible under provision (E) of Rule 32(a)(3) [now see Fed. R. Civ. P. 32(a)(4)], since the length of this trial is itself an 'exceptional circumstance' justifying such use 'in the interest of justice and with due regard to the importance of presenting the testimony of witnesses orally in open court' ")(quoting the Rule).
