 CHICAGO-(AEAE)-NOTICES for depositions of BANK OF AMERICA former CEO Kenneth D. Lewis, Chairman, Walter E. Massey and CFO Joe L. Price and Subpoenas issued to Defense Counsel have met with a motion for a Protective Order and Request to Quash Subpoenas, asserting that the request was an “effort to harass”. “Furthermore, deposing opposing counsel is a harassing technique to impose additional costs and burdens upon Defendants."

"Nor, in ordinary circumstances, does it matter that the proposed witness is a busy person or professes lack of knowledge of the matters at issue, as the party seeking the discovery is entitled to test the asserted lack of knowledge."
