IMO, it appears the delay in Dina's deposition is connected with Mary Zahau's refusal to answer the deposition questions that were asked by Dina's lawyer, and Kim Schmann filed a Motion for an Order Compelling Plantiff, submitted 10/13/2015:
TO THE COURT, ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Defendant, DINA SHACKNAI ("Defendant"), submits this Separate Statement pursuant to California Rules of court, Rule 3.1345 in support of her concurrently-filed Motion for an Order Compelling Plaintiff, MARY sun ZAHAU-LOEHNER ("Ms. Zahau-Loehner"), to Answer to Defendant's deposition questions.
On January 23,2015, Ms. Zahau-Loehner was produced for deposition, pursuant to a Notice of Deposition, and examined by counsel for Defendant. Ms. Zahau-Loehner was represented by counsel, Keith Greer.
During the deposition, Ms. Zahau-Loehner was instructed over 68 times not to answer based on either the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, the marital privilege, and/or the right to privacy. The objections and instructions were improper as set forth in the moving papers and herein:
In this Motion for an Order Compelling Plantiffs, it is discovered that (my comments in parentheses)
-Rebecca did not tell Mary about her shoplifting arrest. (Didn’t Mary state in the media that Rebecca told her everything?)
-Z only sees her Mother, Pari, every 2nd weekend
-Pari is 55, so would have been a child of 14 or so when she married a man almost 30 years her Senior.
-Pari lets X live with Mary “so she could go to a better school.” (She would let her child live with Mary for that?! That is usually not legal and I f the school finds out, X will not be allowed to attend there anymore.)
-It appears Mary told Pari that Neil once tried to strangle Rebecca.
-Jonah paid for the Zahaus hotel in Coronado after Rebecca’s suicide. (They first seemed to blame Jonah for Rebecca’s death so why would they take money from him?)
-Mary says she thought about suing Jonah.
-Mary took Rebecca’s phone out of the country, which is considered tampering with evidence.
-Rebecca never told Mary about Jonah and Dina’s altercations when they were divorcing, which leads me to believe Jonah never told Rebecca. (as much as Rebecca seemed to like to gossip about Dina to Mary, it's logical to believe he did not tell her).
-From the questioning, it seems obvious that Dina did not know Max was fatally injured when Rebecca committed suicide, and it appears Jonah gave a statement stating such.
