Facebook Inc. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg is scheduled to be questioned in a lawsuit alleging that seven technology companies broke antitrust laws by agreeing not to recruit from one another.

U.S. District Judge Lucy H. Koh in San Jose, California, yesterday allowed lawyers for employees suing the companies to conduct the deposition around April 23. Google Inc. and Apple Inc. are defendants in the case, along with Intuit Inc., Intel Corp., Adobe Systems Inc., Walt Disney Co.’s Pixar animation unit and Lucasfilm Ltd. Neither Facebook nor Sandberg, who was formerly an executive at Google, is a defendant.
