Dear Mr. Everett:
This is in response to your letter dated October 5, 1999, a telefacsimile copy of which I
received the afternoon of October 5th. You have requested that I have Mr. Baker bring a number
of items to his deposition this Thursday, October 7, 1999. For the following reasons, it may not
be possible to comply with your request.
Although defendants and defendant-intervenors notified you that Mr. Baker would be a
potential witness on September 22, 1999, your document request arrived less than two days
before Mr. Baker’s deposition this Thursday. Such late notice is entirely unreasonable. However,
it is made all the more burdensome given Mr. Baker’s schedule this week. Mr. Baker is engaged
currently in efforts to help the victims of flooding in the eastern part of North Carolina.
Therefore, on such short notice, it will be very difficult for Mr. Baker to search for and/or retrieve
the documents you requested. Nevertheless, Mr. Baker has indicated that he will make an effort
to bring to his Thursday deposition any materials he is able to retrieve.
