Willis v. Tenekjian

By Judge Dean W. Sword, Jr.

This matter is before the court upon the motion of the plaintiff seeking to quash a notice to take the deposition of Dr. Patrick Loehrer, an expert witness employed by the defendant. Should the court deny the above motion, the plaintiff seeks a protective order essentially requiring the witness to appear in Virginia for the deposition. For the reasons stated hereafter the court denies both motions with certain qualifications.
