(5) The court may allow the taking of a deposition if such deposition is needed to perpetuate the testimony of a witness who is outside the courts jurisdiction or unable to attend because of age, infirmity, illness, imprisonment or undue hardship. In allowing the deposition, the court shall consider if the witness can testify by phone. Depositions shall be taken pursuant to Coquille Rules of Civil Procedure.
