回複：一些事您應該注意的事，同時更正另外一為網友的意見

(a)您所謂的"reporter"應該是court指派的 court officer.
基本上您應該不必擔心他的操守

(b)同時根據 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure R. 30 (g)i
中的規定
1) If the party giving the notice of the taking of a deposition fails to attend and proceed therewith and another party attends in person or by attorney pursuant to the notice, the court may order the party giving the notice to pay to such other party the reasonable expenses incurred by that party and that party's attorney in attending, including reasonable attorney's fees.

如果您到時沒有出席，對方可以依法要求您負擔所有的費用，(包括他的律師的費用)所以您必須慎重考慮您的決定是否應該出席，並不是如另外一位朋友所說的，您無需理會就可以了

如果您真正對這整個的程序有問題，請參考下麵的網頁了解你應該注意的事情，謝謝
(特別注意一點，這是聯邦政府的總鋼，個別州的州法或有不同，您應該特別注意)
