No. You may be able to read his deposition. Otherwise, serve him with a subpoena to appear.

The above comment is true, however, either side may subpoena him to appear and testify if they so choose. If the witness is dead, been found incompetent or lives out of the country you may be able to do it with the transcript. Hope that helps.
