An emergency hearing will be held Wednesday afternoon to determine whether the parents of Casey Anthony will have to appear for a deposition in the civil case against their daughter.
A defamation lawsuit was filed months ago by Zenaida Gonzalez, a woman who shares the same name as a baby sitter with whom Casey Anthony claims she left her daughter, Caylee, at an Orange County apartment complex. Caylee's remains were found in December.

Gonzalez is seeking more than $15,000 in punitive damages, claiming she has been harmed by being linked to the case. Casey Anthony claims she left her daughter with another woman by the same name. 
Brad Conway, the attorney who represents George and Cindy Anthony, filed a motion requesting that the depositions be canceled or delayed until May, when a ruling is expected on whether Gonzalez's lawsuit is frivolous.
Conway claims Gonzalez's attorneys will ask embarassing questions that are irrelevant to the lawsuit. Gonzalez's attorneys have invited the media to witness and videotape the depositions, which Conway said is a publicity stunt.

Conway also requested that his clients be deposed via a written questionnaire, similar to the deposition Casey Anthony is providing in the case.
Gonzalez's attorney do not want to wait until May for the depositions, saying they want their client's name cleared as soon as possible.
Lee Anthony, the brother of Casey Anthony, is scheduled to deposed by Gonzalez's attorneys on Friday.
