Just wondering the purpose / gamesmanship.

They are doing other shenanigans and so I was just wondering if this was more shenanigans.

I suppose they could use depositions as a witness testimony during trial. Some of the witnesses listed are the same person(s). My guess is that the case gets dismissed. But if it goes to trial, only one or two witnesses are used.

Other shenanigans they are doing: they filed the lawsuit in one state but have moved (but they won’t tell us the primary residence). So a subpoena was issued but they have failed to respond to multiple requests. So now we need to reissue subpoena through the other state’s court system, which I’m told will not be a good look for them.

Who knows how this will shake out but almost certainly will work out favorably for me.
