The Port Authority delays deposition

Posted 05-28-2008 at 02:47 PM by neilbarton
<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">As I mentioned earlier, the Port Authority subpoenaed me to a deposition that was due to happen today at 3:30PM in Newark, NJ. At expense to myself I left work early from Manhattan in order to make it to the deposition on time, only to be told that they had served me the wrong subpoena. </span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">They requested I come back tomorrow at 12:30 in the afternoon, I explained to them that this was not possible. I am now tentatively scheduled to be deposed in the Port Authority offices in Manhattan on Friday at 4PM. </span>

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'"><o></o></span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">I complied with their order to produce any documentation that I had in relation to the case I filed. That documentation consisted of my original and final legal drafts and a short email exchange with city Law Director Jay Coffey, with whom I contacted after writing a letter to the Judge that presides over the PA v. BLRA case expressing my dismay/inability to have a greater voice as a citizen. In that conversation Mr. Coffey informed me that I was incorrect in my assumption that I was unable to get legally involved (as I detailed in the letter to the judge) and provided the legal statues that existed. </span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">Other than that email chain, all other communications other persons happened either on this website or in person. </span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'"><o></o></span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">As always I hide nothing and continue to press for open &amp; informed debate. I cannot imagine what the PA lawyers would need to know from me beyond this as it is all recorded here. I will post again after my deposition, if it occurs on Friday. <o></o></span>

I would be surprised if you were deposed Friday. It's a classic ploy to make the little guy go away. Do you really believe you were served "the wrong" subpoena?

Neil, since they gave you the 'wrong' subpoena didn't that imply that the session didn't occur? In which case I wouldn't have given them the paperwork. Since no deposing no giving! But that's just my (delayed reaction) thoughts.

I found it odd that you where given the wrong date but they took the paperwork. Good luck Neil. Hopefully you won't be given the run around again. They realize people work and are not free to go at their beckon call. I hope its not just a ploy to get rid of you.

Neil, it's now 11:34PM. You were deposed at 4PM. Are you not posting because you're behind bars? Or maybe still in one????
