If you are being deposed by opposing counsel strictly for factual material (which they will inevitably use to try to impeach your testimony) these depositions are held at the attorney's convenience.
There is no 'set' order, and many cases do not even require depositions. Depositions are a poor second choice to actual in-person testimony, and are only allowed to be admissable for limited reasons.

Compare and contrast Contributory negligence and Comparative Negligence?
Under both contributory and comparative negligence, the negligence of the defendant is not in doubt; it has been proved by the plaintiff. The basic difference between the two concepts is that comparative negligence attempts to compensate the plaintiff for some portion of her injuries, no matter how small, where as contributory negligence serves to bar completely a damage award for injury.
Does a bondsman get money back if a person skips court and runs for a long time and then gets caught by the police but the bondsman paid the bond and lost his money - does he then get it back?
No, the bond money was posted to ensure and guarantee the defendant's appearance at subsequent court hearings. The defendant failed to appear and went on the run, becoming a fugitive from justice. Only if the bail bondsman HIMSELF captured and delivered the fugitive to court will the money be returned to him. If the fugitive was captured solely by law enforcement it has no effect on the bond forfeiture.

What is Request of entry of default?
When a person (the plaintiff) sues someone (the defendant), the defendant gets a certain amount of time to respond to the lawsuit (times vary by state). If the defendant does not respond to the lawsuit within the time period prescribed or does not show up to court on the day he or she is supposed to, the plaintiff will ask for (and the court will usually give) a default judgment. Simply put, the plaintiff wins because the defendant did not make an effort to defend themselves. A request for entry of default is when the time has passed for the defendant to respond to a lawsuit and the plaintiff is asking for a default judgment. This only applies to civil cases, not criminal cases.

The Plaintiff filed for Motion for default judgment and i received a notice that the motion for default judgment is hereby denied What does that mean to me being the defendant?
That normally means the plaintiff asked the judge for a judgment against you not on the facts of the case but just because you're in default (for failure to appear, plead, answer, or do something else you're supposed to do as a defendant in litigation wherever you are). And apparently the judge said no, and either the law required that notice be sent to you or the judge in his or her discretion ordered that notice be sent to you. So right now there's no judgment against you -- yet. The next step if you do nothing but continue to receive court notices and you do not respond, may be for the plaintiff to ask the judge for a trial date where the plaintiff puts on its witnesses and evidence and if you are given notice to the trial and don't show up the judge could enter a judgment against you "ex parte" (one-sided) and then it just gets more difficult to undo anything.
