FAITRO v. SHAMAAN IHSAN NAJIB SHAMAAN, M.D. 12/20/2011
10:24:05 1 Suite B, Westlake Village, Mr. Robinson placed me in a
10:24:10 2 small room downstairs from where the deposition was to be
10:24:14 3 held and started to talk to me. I told him that I was
10:24:19 4 waiting for my attorney who I had asked to represent me."
10:24:24 5 Not true.
10:24:28 6
Q First of all, I want to make sure -- you were
10:24:29 7 placed in a room, but you were not --
10:24:33 8
A But he's saying that you placed me in a room
10:24:40 9 and I'm waiting for an attorney who is representing me.
10:24:44 10 There is no such thing. I never talked to him.
10:24:48 11
Q Very fine. Continue on.
10:24:49 12
A "I was never told that a reporter was going to
10:24:52 13 be present." I was told up front, outside in the
10:24:57 14 corridor that there will be a reporter by the name of Mr.
10:25:02 15 Pfiefer.
10:25:03 16
"Do you have any opposition to allow him to
10:25:07 17 attend the deposition?" And I said "No, I don't have any
10:25:12 18 opposition to allow him to attend." That is the pure
10:25:15 19 truth. I -- I agreed for him to -- to be present during
10:25:21 20 the deposition.
10:25:24 21
Item No. 5. "Mr. Robinson and Mr. Walker asked
10:25:29 22 me if I had a written, signed contract with an attorney.
10:25:34 23 I told him I did not." True.
10:25:39 24
"They then said that meant that I did not have
10:25:42 25 an attorney." True.
