1 MICROPHONE.
2 JUST WAIT A SECOND, MR. FAVISH.
3 OKAY. NOW, I'LL MAKE THE RULING. THE RULING WILL
4 BE YES OR NO. IF IT'S A "NO," THEN YOUR BACK-UP ARGUMENT
5 IS "WAIT A SECOND, JUDGE. YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU LOOKED AT
6 WASN'T THE ORIGINAL. I WANT A DEPOSITION." UNDER THOSE
7 CIRCUMSTANCES, SUBJECT TO BRIEFING, I THINK YOU'RE ENTITLED
8 TO IT.
9 ON THE OTHER HAND, IF I RELEASE ALL OF THE
10 PHOTOGRAPHS AND YOU LOOK AT IT, YOU MAY -- WHAT YOU HAVEN'T
11 SEEN -- YOU MAY SAY, "I DON'T NEED THE DEPOSITION." SO I
12 THINK THE DEPOSITION LOGICALLY COMES AFTER MY RULING.
13 FOLLOW ME? OKAY.
14 SO THAT'S THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO DO IT. I'LL MAKE
15 MY RULING AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE YOUR RULE UMPTY-UM
16 MEETING, SEVEN OR WHATEVER IT IS. YOU HAVE YOUR MEETING.
17 AND IF YOU CAN'T AGREE ON IT, THEN YOU NOTICE YOUR
18 DEPOSITION, BUT DO SO AFTER I'VE MADE THE RULING ON THE TEN
19 PHOTOGRAPHS. OKAY?
20 MS. LUYMES: YOUR HONOR, MAY I BE HEARD AS TO ONE
21 MATTER, PLEASE?
22 THE COURT: YES.
23 MS. LUYMES: I KNOW FROM TALKING WITH MY CLIENT
24 THAT THEY ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT ME LODGING THE
25 PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE. THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM
