Rule 202.70.29 - Identification of Deposition Testimony
Counsel for the parties shall consult prior to trial and shall in good faith attempt to agree upon the portions of deposition testimony to be offered into evidence without objection, and to resolve any objections regarding the use of any corresponding video recording of such deposition testimony. The parties shall delete from the testimony to be read questions and answers that are irrelevant to the point for which the deposition testimony is offered. Each party shall prepare a list of deposition testimony to be offered by it as to which objection has not been made and, identified separately, a list of deposition testimony as to which objection has been made to the introduction of the testimony or corresponding video recording of the deposition testimony. At least 10 days prior to trial, or such other time as the court may set, each party shall submit its list to the court and other counsel, together with a copy of the portions of the deposition testimony as to which no objection has been made and, if applicable, the corresponding video recording of the portions of deposition testimony as to which no objection has been made. This Rule does not apply to portions of deposition testimony and corresponding video recording to be used solely for impeachment or credibility purposes.
