have all of your depositions been taken with leave of court?

"Rule 30. Deposition by Oral Examination

(a) When a Deposition May Be Taken.

(1) Without Leave. A party may, by oral questions, depose any person, including a party, without leave of court except as provided in Rule 30(a)(2). The deponent�s attendance may be compelled by subpoena under Rule 45."

why wouldn't you subpoena them to compel them to appear?

- you depose non-parties too. who, as you astutely point out, have no obligation to show up unless they are compelled by an accompanying subpoena - dr. banjo Aug 13, 13:12 1
