Insofar as the Order limited discovery as to the "availability of notaries" these questions did not call for the witness to discuss the availability of notaries, but rather the procedures for dealing with a reasonable impediment affidavit. 28 Andino Marci 8/24/2012 320:3 412:16 FRCP 32: South Carolina objects to all s The Court's August 24 Order permitted the parties to provide "deposition s for from Ms. Andino's deposition because she will testify as the supplemental depositions of Marci Andino, Chris Whitmire, Janet Reynolds and Les a live witness. The parties' past practice has been not to designate deposition testimony from live witnesses. Boles" (ECF. No. 239) at 2. The parties' prior practice of not designating deposition testimony of live witnesses applied at a time when it was not contemplated that live witnesses would be deposed three days before trial. It is South Carolina's late document production which necessitated the deposition of Ms. Andino on the eve of trial, and Defendant Intervenors who have limited trial time should not be precluded from designating and relying on portions of that deposition. 29 Reynolds Janet 6/20/2012; 8/23/2012 1:1 3:2 10:25 11:18 26:17 27:5 41:18 24 43:14 44:23 110:24 112:4 112:15 113:13 114:16 123:1 124:21 128:16 1:1 3:2 Untimely 10:25 11:18 Untimely 26:17 27:5 Untimely 41:18 24 Untimely 43:14 44:23 Untimely 124:21 128:16 Outside the permissible scope of the deposition.

Ms. Reynolds' testimony at 41:18 24 and 43:14 44:23 were in fact discussed at 121:13 123:1. 10:25 11:18 simply establishes Ms. Reynolds' knowledge and responsibilities in her position, and 1:1 3:2 is the deposition header information. 124:21 128:16 The line of questioning calls for the cost to SEC of staffing notaries not at the polls, and thus is not "further discovery regarding the availability of notaries in polling place."
