(0046766.1) 310. 11. (30446766.1) Robert Michalik is a percipient witness and will be able to testify as to his observations about road conditions, traffic congestion, impact to his vehicle, and sounds he heard or did not hear at the time of the incident, all of which are critical to a fair and equitable resolution to the above captioned case. See Robert Michalik’s Answers to interrogatories; Exhibit B. The defendant’s subpoenaed Robert Michalik for the first time on December 24, 2019 for a deposition scheduled for January 25, 2019.

See deposition transcript of January 25, 2019; Exhibit C. The defendant’s caused Robert Michalik to be served, in hand, with a Subpoena for a second time on June 24, 2019 for a deposition scheduled for July 12, 2019. See June 24, 2019, Return of Service Exhibit D. On July 12, 2109, Robert Michalik again failed to appear for his deposition. See deposition transcript of July 12, 2019; Exhibit D.

Moreover, Robert Michalik availed himself of the Lowell District Court in order to pursue his own claims stemming from this motor vehicle accident, but has since refused to comply with duly served subpoenas’ in matters pending in the Middlesex Superior Court regarding the very same accident. Plaintiff's counsel does not oppose this Motion to compel the deposition of Robert Michalik.COMMONWEALTH OF SACHUSETTS MIDDLESEX, ss. SUPERIOR COURT (WOBURN) C.A.
