                         23                 During the course of expert and treating health care provider depositions in this case, defense

                         24     counsel made the reasonable inquiry of these witnesses whether they had worked with or were

                         25     retained by the Vaziri firm, or were working with the firm on cases currently. Some of the witnesses

                         26     have indeed worked with plaintiffs’ counsel on other matters, or have other cases currently with the

                         27     firm. This is on-the-record testimony which defendants are entitled to inquire about at trial, so it

                         28     may be that plaintiffs’ counsel’s firm would be mentioned in the course of cross-examining these
