ARTHUR J. SCHWAB, District Judge.
AND NOW, this 13th day of March 2012, after careful consideration of the parties' Joint Statements on the Parties' Use of Deposition Testimony of Human Resources Manager Nedine Hunter at Trial (Doc. No. 89), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the deposition of Ms. Hunter may only be used to impeach her as a witness. See Doc. No. 59. The Court finds that Ms. Hunter is not a "managing agent" within the meaning of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 32(a)(3).
