cross-noticed this. I'm going to attach a copy of this
deposition notice because it wasn't read in the style, but it's number 15507. It's in the District Court of Brazoria County, Texas, the 23rd Judicial District, Judge Ben Hardin presiding.
He's also been notified that this deposition is going on and is prepared to deal with matters pertaining to his court today.
MR. SHIPLEY: Just for the record. Union Carbide is not a party to the lawsuit that Mr. Lanier has just referenced, and we're not voluntarily making any appearance in that case.
MR. BICKS: My name is Peter Bicks. I'm from Orrick, Herrington, and we're here on behalf of Union Carbide and Mr. Sayers.
Just for the record, Mr. Lanier, can we have the folks who are with you identify themselves or would you please be kind enough to identify them so we know who's here for purposes for the record?
