CASE NO.: 3:15-cv-01736-VC

REQUEST FOR TELEPHONIC 

APPEARANCE 

Date: 5/5/2015 

Time: 10:00 am 

Courtroom 4, 17th Floor 

Hon. Judge: Vince Chhabria 

 I, Stephen T. Hicklin, Esq., am the Attorney for Specialized Loan Services, LLC and 

NBS Default Services, LLC. I ask the Court to allow me, Stephen T. Hicklin, Esq., to appear 

telephonically through telephone number (562)983-5367 on May 5, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. in 

Courtroom 4 of the above-named Court for the Case Management Conference. I would like the 

Court to consider the following information in making its decision whether to allow a telephone 

appearance. I reside in Orange County and my place of business is located in Los Angeles 

County in California, which is approximately five hundred sixty seven (567) miles from the 

above courthouse where the hearing is set. I further request the court to allow a telephone 

appearance as a professional courtesy, due to the distance in travel, and costs it would require for 

myself to personally appear.
