No. 06-06529 EDL

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATIONS 

TO APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY

 On September 11, 2007 and September 12, 2007, Plaintiff’s and Defendant’s counsel filed

requests to appear telephonically at the initial case management conference set for September 18,

2007 at 3:00 p.m. Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Requests are

GRANTED subject to the following caution. The Court disfavors telephonic appearances because

the technology prevents the Court from addressing a question to the parties or making a comment or

ruling whenever any participant speaks at length. Accordingly, the parties shall only speak in

response to a direct question from the Court and shall pause at regular intervals to allow the Court to

comment on the information presented. If the Court wishes to hear a response by the opposing

party, the Court will inform the party from whom information is requested. No party shall attempt to

present information without a request from the Court. If the parties cannot follow the rules set forth

in this order, or at the first sign of improper decorum, the telephonic appearance will be terminated

and a new hearing date will be set for personal appearances. Counsel shall stand by beginning at the

date and time above until called by the Court.
