Case No. CV-09-0 1653 MHP 

APPLICATION TO APPEAR 

TELEPHONICALLY AT 

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE AND 

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

Date: April 16,20 10 

Time: 1O:OO am 

Dept.: 301 

Judge: Hon. Maria Elena-James 

Complaint Filed: April 14,2009 

Trial Date: None Set 

A Settlement Conference is scheduled in this case for April 16, 2010, at 10:OO a.m. before 

Judge Maria-Elena James. Defendant International Security Services Inc. ("Defendant") submits 

this application to request that the representative from its insurance carrier be allowed to appear 

telephonically at that conference. 

Defendant is insured by Travelers' Indemnity Co. ("Travelers"). The claims examiner at 

Travelers who is responsible for this case is Shantel Dixon. Ms. Dixon is located in Hartford, 

Connecticut. The expense and time involved in Ms. Dixon traveling to San Francisco to appear in 

person at the Settlement Conference would be a substantial hardship. Although Ms. Dixon could 

have a local representative appear at the conference in her place, it would be more effective for 

settlement purposes if Ms. Dixon was able to appear telephonically.
