Turner appeared by phone means. Attorney Thomas Kent Guelzow appeared by phone means
for Plaintiff Colin Turner. Attorney Timothy William Waldeck appeared by phone means for
Defendant Great Air, Inc.. Attorney Glenn R. White in court for Defendant Chippewa Valley
Music Festival and Defendant Great American E&S Insurance Company. Atty Guelzow states
that they will be deposing ex spouse today. Atty Guelzow has issue with ex spouse in deposition
with priviledge material. It will no longer will be priviledged. Atty Guelzow states that other parties
are no being forthcoming to what is going to be discussed in deposition of ex spouse. Parties
divorced early this year and it is a very hostile divorce. Atty Hutchens states that ex spouse
contacted Atty R White's office stating that she may have some valuable information. Other
parties also do not know what she has and they never conversed with her prior to this
deposition. Atty Waldeck states he is unaware of the phone call from ex spouse. Judge rules that
anything happened prior to marriage is fair game. Anything that happened after the marriage is
priviledge. Anything after the divorced is not priviledged. Judge requests that all parties refrain
from talking to ex spouse separately until after deposition.
