June 25, 2021 Opinion or Order Order terminating #15 as improperly designated as there is already a motion to transfer pending. (Do not refile). These emails seem to confirm the details set forth in defendants' motion. Nevertheless, the Court will authorize plaintiff to take a one hour deposition of each of the two New York employees who approved plaintiff's termination. However, because the Court considers that making defendants incur fees and costs for those depositions would likely be disproportionate to the needs of the case, those depositions may be taken only on the condition that should the depositions not provide a good faith basis for plaintiff to oppose transfer, plaintiff will pay defendant's reasonable attorneys' fees for the depositions in addition to the fee of the court reporter. Plaintiff shall advise the Court whether he wants to consent to transfer or proceed with the depositions by 6/29/21. Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 6/25/2021.
