UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

The Court notes that the Order setting the initial case management conference in this case 

sets forth this Court's standard practice that counsel appear in person for the initial case 

management conference. The Court will, however, grant an exception in this case, but 

notes that if counsel wishes to appear by telephone at future hearings or case management 

conferences, counsel must submit a request each time setting forth the basis for the request.
