1 MR. KENNEDY: What do you want

2 to waive here?

3 MR. SPISAK: What do you want

4 me to waive?

5 MR. KENNEDY: Everything, the

6 filing of the transcript, the filing of the

7 video, service, notice, technical requirements.

8 I think there are technical requirements

9 written into video depositions that nobody ever

10 pays any attention to.

11 MR. SPISAK: I don't think

12 there is any problem with any of those things.

13 If something should come up in the video, but

14 other than that, I will waive all the technical

15 requirements and the filing and notice

16 requirements, that type of thing.
