                                CONCURRING STATEMENT

SENIOR JUDGE LEADBETTER                                        DECIDED: June 14, 2016



       I join in the thoughtful opinion of the court. I write separately simply to emphasize

that, with respect to the second prong of the collateral order doctrine, appellant’s

asserted claims of harm are simply too speculative to evaluate. Had the deposition gone

forward and some concrete and substantial invasion of privacy occurred, application of

the doctrine might have been in order. However, in the present posture it is impossible

to say that appellant has any interest at all to protect, let alone one “too important to be

denied review.”
