PRE-2024 COMMITTEE NOTE

This rule provides a useful summary of the rules regarding who may attend a

deposition, and the Committee recommends that it be extended to the Southern District

as well as the Eastern District. The exclusion-of-witnesses rule of Fed. R. Evid. 615 is

made inapplicable to depositions by Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(c)(1), but Fed. R. Civ. P.

26(c)(1)(E) allows the Court, for good cause, to “designat[e] the persons who may be

present while the discovery is conducted.”
