Default Will Susan Polgar Appear for her Scheduled Deposition on June 30?

Susan Polgar is scheduled to appear in the case Polgar vs. USCF for a
deposition in Lubbock, Texas on June 30. Just about nobody seems to
believe that she will actually show up and testify. Here are three of
the possibilities:

1. Polgar appears and answers questions for the full scheduled period
of her deposition.

2. Polgar does not show, presenting an excuse via her counsel. For
example, Susan is sick, her child is sick, she is having her period or
some similar reason.

3. Polgar appears and at some point a phone call is received
announcing an emergency of some sort requiring her to leave her
deposition.

4. Susan appears and, after identifying herself, takes the Fifth.

As a party to this case, I have a right to be there and to ask her
questions. After all, she sued me, so I have the right to know why she
is suing me.

However, the probability of either number 2, number 3 or number 4
happening is so high and the probability of number 1 happening is so
low that I am not going to waste my time and money flying to Texas
just to be there.

If, contrary to all expectations, Susan actually does show up and
testify, I can fly there later.

Wait for it.

Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our
two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three*
weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost
fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our
weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise....
I'll come in again.

When you see her, will you start masturbating immediately or will you wait
till you get back to the Motel 6?


After all, she sued me, so I have the right to know why she

Oh. Nevermind then.

Yes. She did.

Other than that, I have no details.

Ironically, my initial response said "corroborate and archive" but I thought
that a bit of overkill and so removed the latter. Clearly I underestimated
the legal acumen of the erstwhile administrative law clerk.

Are depositions considered public? Is it possible to see what she
said?
