[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does this actually help Lively?  I thought Lively wanted to hold fast to tomorrow' dep so that Baldoni's team would have to scramble to get the dep together after they had barely two weeks to review all the docs.  Garofalo wanted to postpone it and Gottlieb threatened sanctions so I don't think Gottlieb wanted this, honestly.

Is it purely that Wallace wouldn't be able to join the dep if he were no longer a party, and then if he were back to being a party two weeks from now, he'd get to depose her again briefly, for, like, an hour?  I almost think it would have been better to proceed with the dep by Wayfarer and have Wallace do a separate add on later if needed, for an hour.

If this were me, I'd just want to get it over with, but ymmv.[/quote]

This. I don't think Lively wanted to postpone. But if they did the depo tomorrow without Wallace, she'd have to be re-deposed later if they refile against Wallace. So they were looking for a way to get Wallace back in the case just to facilitate him coming to the depo (either filing a "dummy" complaint they would amend later or Liman temporarily vacating his dismissal just for the depo).

But they would need Wayfarer to agree to that, and they wouldn't, so the deposition is postponed because that was the only option they could get everyone to agree to.

[b]The people who think this is a win for Lively or represents bias toward Lively by Liman don't actually understand what happened[/b].[/quote]

I'm PP this person was responding to and agree with all of this, but especially the bolded part.  And the insistence by Baldoni supporters on some bias here, which is a misread, shows that they will continue to read this judge wrong again and again.  Bringing snide insinuations about celebrity into it was not going to help that hearing move forward in any way and Liman was shutting that down, as is his job, to try to make the parties actually get somewhere and agree on something.  It was like Fritz trying to bring up the Google subpoenas the other day which was not on that day's menu.  Judges do not have time for this BS and it's ridiculous for Liman to need to instruct Fritz to try to help solve the problem instead of try to make his dumb and petty points for the lulz.

And yet Team Baldoni continues to eat this up and come back for thirds.  So they will continue to misread the standard of civility that is required in federal court, and required particularly by Liman, the judge in the case that they are required to deal with.  So good luck with that, Team Baldoni.[/quote]
