Comes now the Plaintiff, by and through counsel, and gives notice that the deposition of
Meredith Bellamy, D.O. will be taken on the 10th day of June, 2022, beginning at 2:00 p.m.
EST. All parties will be attending remotely via Zoom as well as the court reporter and
videographer. The deposition will be recorded by video by the court reporter using Zoom’s
recording function, which will be considered the official video copy for the record. The official
video recording by the court reporter will “Pin” the screen of the deponent so that the video
recording will remain stationary at all times on the witness. However, if documents are shared

electronically, it will be side-by-side with the witness so that the witness can always be seen on
the recording.
The deponent will be sworn in remotely and the parties waive any objection that the
remote swearing in of the deponent is invalid. The deponent must present a valid ID for the court
reporter to verify her identity. All attorneys must be on a separate device with video so that their
faces can be seen at all times. The deponent will pan their video around the room before the
deposition starts so that everyone attending remotely can see the room setup, if anyone else is in
the room, etc.
Once the deposition starts, the deponent is to have their device positioned so their camera
shows them from the waist up and it must stay that way with the exception of viewing any
exhibits. The deponent will not have on a mask. The private 1-on-1 chat feature will be disabled
by the court reporter, who will be the Host of the meeting. As the deponent’s counsel will be in
the same room with the deponent, they must be distanced by 6 feet and be on a separate device as
the deponent so that counsel’s face can be seen at all times. The deponent will confirm that they
do not have any other devices near them and that her cell phone is either in her pocket or on the
floor under her chair.
This deposition is being taken pursuant to Rules 26 and 30 of the Ohio Rules of Civil
Procedure and will continue from time to time and place to place until completed.
This the 17th day of May, 2022.
