• vacating the sanction for failure to give adequate advance notice of the unusual nature of the sanction being considered

• affirming sanctions imposed on defense counsel where counsel made 115 bad faith “form objec- tions” during a deposition, frustrating the fair examination of the deponent
• “Both the purpose and the plain language of Rule 30(d)(2) allow courts to consider sanctions sua sponte”
• “Any opportunity to be heard would be of little value without notice of the nature of a potential sanction, for only with that information can a party respond in a cogent way.”
