District of Columbia Sample Letter for Order Denying Motion to Reopen Deposition [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Opposing Party’s Attorney’s Name] [Opposing Party’s Attorney’s Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: Order Denying Motion to Reopen Deposition Dear [Opposing Party’s Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you that after careful consideration, the Court has issued an order denying your recent motion to reopen the deposition in the case of [Case Name/Number]. As you may recall, the initial deposition in this matter was conducted on [Date] with all parties present, including yourself, your client, and our client. The deposition was held in compliance with the District of Columbia Rules of Civil Procedure and was conducted in a thorough and fair manner. In your motion, you argued that newly discovered evidence warranted reopening the deposition and sought to introduce additional witnesses. However, after careful review of the evidence presented and the applicable legal standards, the Court has determined that your motion lacks sufficient grounds for the deposition to be reopened. The Court's decision was based on the following grounds: 1. Lack of newly discovered evidence: The evidence you presented in support of your motion does not meet the standard of newly discovered evidence as outlined in the District of Columbia rules. The information you referenced was available prior to the original deposition and could have been raised at that time. 2. Prejudice to opposing party: Allowing the deposition to be reopened at this stage of the proceedings would cause undue prejudice to our client. Our client has relied on the information obtained during the original deposition and subsequent discovery to prepare their case, and reopening the deposition would result in unnecessary delay and expense. 3. Lack of exceptional circumstances: Your motion failed to demonstrate exceptional circumstances that would warrant the reopening of the deposition. The Court considers reopening depositions to be an extraordinary remedy, and absent compelling reasons, such a request is typically denied. Therefore, in light of these considerations, the Court has determined that your motion to reopen the deposition is denied. Our client intends to proceed with the case based on the information already obtained through the original deposition and subsequent discovery. If you wish to discuss this matter further or seek clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Title or Role] [Your Law Firm's Name]
