San Francisco Division

JAMIE LYNN PETERS, 

Plaintiffs,

v.

COUNTY OF HUMBOLDT, et al., 

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

No. C 09-4021 CRB

ORDER RE: ATTENDANCE

Session Date: June 17, 2010

Mediator: Michael Sobel

Before the court is defendants’ request to excuse all the individually named defendants (with

the exception of Bobby Potts) in this case from participating in the June 17, 2010 mediation before

Michael Sobel. The request cites travel and lodging expenses and staffing at the correctional facility

as justifications. While travel expenses are not ordinarily considered “extraordinary or otherwise

unjustifiable hardship” under ADR L.R. 6-10(d), staffing at the facility is an appropriate

consideration. In addition, the defendants’ request does not address the issue of who will represent

the County of Humboldt and Sheriff Gary Philp. Accordingly, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendants’ request to excuse all the individually named

defendants, except Bobby Potts, is denied.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendants’ will designate a minimum of two additional

individually named defendants, who were directly involved with, and are most knowledgeable

about, the decisions regarding the decedent’s incarceration, to attend the mediation and will make

certain that the other named defendants are available throughout the mediation to be contacted by

phone if necessary, at the discretion of the mediator.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a representative of the County of Humboldt and Sheriff
