MEMORANDUM ORDER REGARDING WITNESS DEPOSITIONS
This Court granted [Doc. No. 34] Plaintiffs’ Motion for Expedited Preliminary Injunction Related Discovery [Doc. No. 17] and set an expedited discovery schedule. The discovery schedule required the parties to meet and confer in good faith regarding any deposition requests. The parties were required to file a joint statement as to their position on depositions if they could not come to an agreement. The parties have done so and have submitted the pending Joint Statement Regarding Witness Depositions [Doc. No. 86]. This ruling addresses the witness depositions.
