A judge is denying former state trooper Michael Proctor's bid to delay his deposition. 

On Friday, Proctor submitted the emergency request to postpone the deposition in the wrongful death lawsuit against Karen Read. 

The lawsuit is being brought by the family of Boston police officer John O'Keefe against Read and several other parties. 

The judge denied Proctor's request to delay, saying that Proctor failed to provide sufficient reason for the delay.  Plymouth Superior Court Judge Mark Gildea criticized both the timing of the request and the evidence submitted by Proctor's attorneys.
