A judge signaled Monday that she will not permit Katy Perry to be deposed in a lawsuit that pits her against two nuns who oppose the singer’s proposed purchase of a onetime convent in Los Feliz, but former Archbishop Roger Mahony will be answering questions from the sisters’ attorneys.
The rulings came during a hearing in which Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Bowick asked attorney John Scholnick, on behalf of Sisters Rita Callanan and Catherine Rose Holzman, and lawyer Randy Snyder, who represents restaurant owner Dana Hollister, to fully explain what knowledge the individuals they seek to depose have concerning authority and control over the California Institute of the Sisters of the Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
