Guam § 9218 - Depositions.

§ 9218. Depositions.

On the verified petition of any party, an agency may order that the

testimony of any material witness residing within or without the territory

of Guam be taken by deposition in the manner prescribed by law for

depositions in civil actions. The petition shall set forth the nature of the

pending proceedings; the name and address of the witness whose

testimony is desired, a showing of the materiality of his testimony, a

showing that the witness will be unable or cannot be compelled to attend;

and shall request an order requiring the witness to appear and testify

before an officer named in the petition for that purpose. Where the

witness resides outside the territory of Guam and where the agency has

ordered the taking of his testimony by deposition, the agency shall obtain

an order of court to that effect by filing a petition therefor in the Superior

Court.
