Fogt is the Board's Registrar of Contractors, a position which makes him the Board's secretary and chief executive officer. After real party in interest, Black Diamond Electric, Inc. (BDE), noticed Fogt's deposition in a declaratory judgment action BDE had brought against the Board, Fogt sought a protective order to prevent the deposition.
