Pursuant to 22 NYCRR 202.20-b(a)(2), unless otherwise stipulated to by the parties or ordered by the court, "depositions shall be limited to 7 hours per deponent." However, "[f]or good cause shown, the court may alter the limits on the number of depositions or the duration of an examination," pursuant to § 202.20-b[f]. Good cause may be based on improper conduct or obstruction by the deponent or the attorney, or a proper showing that 7 hours was an insufficient amount of time within which to complete the deposition under the circumstances of the case.
