Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s possible exit to join the Biden administration has lawyers in a lawsuit against the city tussling over when his wife could be deposed ahead of any departure by the couple.
Lawyers filed papers Tuesday asking the court to order the first lady of Los Angeles, Amy Elaine Wakeland, to be deposed before June 15 in a lawsuit brought by a former bodyguard to the mayor who claims he was harassed by a longtime Garcetti aide.
The motion doesn’t concern whether Wakeland should be deposed, but only when her deposition should take place.
Diana Wells, an attorney for plaintiff Matthew Garza, argues in a motion that city attorneys offered July 7 to depose Wakeland and that Deputy City Atty. Doug Lyon reported that he was “booked” before that date. Wells claims in her motion that “intentional delay is what is really going on.”

Hollywood Stands Up Against Antisemitism After L.A. Restaurant Attack Being Investigated as Hate Crime

After an attack at a Los Angeles restaurant that is under investigation by the LAPD as a hate crime, Hollywood is speaking out against antisemitism.
Debra Messing, Mayim Bialik, Meghan McCain and Kim Kardashian are among the celebrities who have taken to social media, urging for peace and calm amid the alarming escalation of deadly violence between Israelis and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. The mounting toll of more than 200 casualties threatens to inflame the entire Middle East.
“They were chanting, ‘Death to Jews’ and ‘Free Palestine,’” the witness said. “They had malice.”
In one video, about eight people, most dressed in black, began brawling with the diners, The Times reported. One of the victims, who wanted to be identified only as “M,” told KTLA that he was eating dinner with four of his Jewish friends when the men stopped their car and started punching and kicking them.
Police said five victims were punched or hurt by broken glass, but nobody was seriously injured. A GoFundMe page for at least one of the victims reached nearly $30,000 as of Thursday morning.
