Simpson Wins Delay Of Deposition

O.J. Simpson won another reprieve Friday from his deposition that was scheduled to begin Monday in the wrongful-death lawsuit brought against him by the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

Lawyers for Simpson asked for the delay, citing a possible conflict of interest for Mitchell, Silberberg & Knupp, the law firm representing the Goldman family. Robert C. Baker, one of Simpson’s lawyers, said the law firm represented a company in which Simpson had a financial interest.

Haber scheduled a hearing on the conflict issue for Jan. 16.
