ENDORSEMENT: Fed. R. Civ. P. 30 (d)(1) speaks to the number and presumptive length of each deposition ("... a deposition is limited to 1 day of 7 hours"); Accordingly, a deponent who participates in a litigation in different capacities, for example, in an individual capacity and as a corporate representative (See Fed.

The contract is discussed in the Kirbys' fourth counterclaim and is the basis for the Kirbys' breach-of-contract claim. The contract is not attached to the Kirbys' Answer, and I could not find it in any of the parties' filings. Because the agreement is relied on by the Kirbys in asserting their counterclaim, I ask that either party produce to the Court a copy of the 1986 contract. (jpo)
