November 5, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 62 DISCOVERY ORDER: Pending before the Court is a dispute involving the proper location of the deposition of Plaintiff's Rule 30(b)(6) corporate representative. Plaintiff DirectTV argues the deposition of a Rule 30(b)(6) representative presumptively should occur at the company's principal place of business, which is El Segundo, California. Defendants counter that Plaintiff (and its officers) are required to make themselves available for deposition in the district in which Plaintiff brought suit. The Court overrules Plaintiff's objections and orders the deposition of Plaintiff's Rule 30(b)(6) representative to occur in Indianapolis at a time mutually convenient for the parties and their counsel. In this regard, the Court adds that, inexplicably, Defendants served a notice of deposition for this Rule 30(b)(6) deposition while the Court had the dispute as to the deposition's proper location under consideration. Serving a notice of deposition under these circumstances was improper at best. That deposition notice is quashed (see Order for additional information). Signed by Magistrate Judge Tim A. Baker on 11/5/2015.(SWM)
