 6                MR. NEALON:  Now is the day 
 7          and the time for the deposition of 
 8          Dr. John Robert Cohn relative to 
 9          the case of Joseph Kershbaumer 
10          versus Donald Gray Moving & 
11          Storage. 
12                Since Dr. Cohn's deposition 
13          is being taken in lieu of his live 
14          appearance before Judge Kutz, I'd 
15          ask opposing counsel if he'd be 
16          willing to stipulate that all 
17          objections should be placed on the 
18          record at this time to be ruled 
19          upon by the judge when he reviews 
20          the transcript.
21                Is that acceptable, Lester?
22                MR. KRASNO:  Yes.
