Document Information

Type: Legal filing (response to motion)
File Size: 58.6 KB
Summary

Legal response filed on March 12, 2010, by attorney Tama Beth Kudman on behalf of non-party witness Jean Luc Bruhnel (spelled Bruhnel in document). The filing opposes Plaintiff Jane Doe's motion to compel Bruhnel to appear for a deposition, arguing that Bruhnel is a French citizen who has left the US with no plans to return and cannot be compelled by the Court to return. The document asserts that the Plaintiff should use the Hague Convention or other international mechanisms to secure testimony abroad and accuses Plaintiff's counsel of misrepresentation and failure to follow proper procedure.
