`motion needed be filed With the Cofirt. No narhed defefidalnt is an incaréeréted individual

`
`2. The Plaintiff is, however, required to incur the cost of a court reporter to swear in the

`
`
`
`recording is simply unreliable. The recorder may not accurately reflect the testimony of
`the defendants and provides no way for the Plaintifi‘, or opposing counsel, to mark and
`
`compile exhibits introduced during the deposition.
`
`4. Defendants do not consent to the taking of a deposition absent an individual able to swear
`
`in the witness, mark exhibits and transcribe the testimony provided.
`WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this Court deny the Plaintiff’s request
`to conduct depositions by recording device only and grant all other just and proper relief.
