If you've been served papers to show up at a deposition, that means a judge has ordered your body to appear and give the deposition. Failure to appear will probably result in a charge of contempt of court, which would probably result in your body being taken (arrested) and brought before the court. You would sit in jail until you complied with the court order to give deposition.

Is it normal for a betta fish to appear lifeless or motionless, resembling a dead fish, even though it may still be alive?

Yes, it is normal for a betta fish to sometimes appear lifeless or motionless, resembling a dead fish, even though it may still be alive. Betta fish are known to rest at the bottom of their tank or float near the surface, which can make them appear inactive. This behavior is a natural part of their resting cycle and does not necessarily indicate that the fish is in distress or unwell.
