The plaintiff brought a motion to exclude the defendants from her examination for discovery, alleging she would be intimidated by their presence due to a history of domestic abuse by her former spouse, one of the defendants.
The court found the plaintiff's uncontradicted evidence of assault supported her claim of intimidation regarding her former spouse and his brother, who lived in the same residence during the abuse.
The motion was granted in part, excluding the former spouse and his brother, but dismissing the request to exclude a third defendant due to a lack of specific evidence.
