Can you testify in federal court under the influence of cannabis and claim a stuffed animal is a service animal?

 

There is an ongoing dispute  between Kyla Tripodi Nored vs Andrew Barnett and Nazanin Namazi. After Barnett and Namazi sued Nored, she filed a defamation suit against them. 

At the 6/9 Case Management Conference and Barnett and Namazi's attorney failed to appear. Court minutes indicate that Namazi told Judge Timothy Canning her attorney is ill. Judge Canning scheduled an Order to show cause for failure to appear on 7/28.

There is a case management conference and hearing on 6/23 on the Motion to compel deposition of Andrew Barnett filed by Nored. Her attorney claims Barnett was disruptive in federal court, appeared to be under the influence of cannabis and clutched a stuffed animal while he testified in federal court. Namazi and Barnett in their answer said Nored's attorney is disparaging Barnett's character.
