'Can Y'all Play Nice?' Judge Asks Counsel in Case of Lawyer Who Slapped Another Attorney
"Can y'all play nice or do I have to attend these depositions? I don't mind coming down there if I need to, or you can do them here," said 127th District Judge R.K. Sandill of Harris County.

Houston attorney Ronny Krist has already received a ticket for slapping Greg Enos—who's representing a plaintiff suing Krist—just before a deposition. Now the incident, caught on camera, has reached the courthouse in the form of a discovery dispute.
"Can y'all play nice, or do I have to attend these depositions?" 127th District Judge R.K. Sandill of Harris County, Texas, asked during a telephone hearing on Tuesday. "I don't mind coming down there if I need to, or you can do them here."
Both sides declined the judge's offer to attend the depositions to ensure they "play nice." Sandill also suggested that Enos could take Krist's deposition over Skype or another video conferencing system, rather than in person.
