On July 13, 2015, NCUA applied for an order pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c)(1)(B) cancelling the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition that RBS seeks to take on July 14 of a Barclays witness. The context for this application is as follows.
Discovery in the three RBS actions in our districts is scheduled to end Friday, July 17, 2015. On July 8, nine days before the discovery cut-off, RBS informed NCUA that it intended to notice a deposition of Barclays regarding the NCUA Guaranteed Notes program. RBS requested that NCUA consent to the deposition occurring on August 5, in order to accommodate the schedule of a Barclays witness who will be travelling from July 14 to August 2. NCUA refused to consent.
On July 9, RBS applied to our Courts to take the Barclays deposition on August 5, outside the discovery cutoff date. Early on July 11, RBS advised NCUA and our Courts that it was withdrawing its request to take the deposition in August, and that RBS and Barclays had agreed on a date for the deposition to occur before July 17. Shortly thereafter, RBS served a deposition notice identifying the date for the deposition as July 14. NCUA contends that it cannot reasonably prepare for the deposition in one business day. Considering issues of diligence, reasonable notice, and convenience to a third-party witness, it is hereby
ORDERED that the NCUA request to cancel the Barclays Rule 30(b)(6) deposition scheduled for July 14 is denied.
