2. That is the legal process of 'discovery,'

This is the formal process of exchanging information between the parties about the witnesses and evidence they ll present at trial.

'Davis tapped Delaware litigator John Elzufon to look into whether Fox complied with its discovery obligations heading into the defamation trial, according to the filing.

The special master can depose whomever he wishes — and all those costs must be paid by Fox, as Davis explained from the bench last week.

Elzufon must provide a written report regarding the investigation no later than 4 p.m. ET on May 15.'

Or are we holding until the special master reports?
