MILLER ET AL,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

 INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES

CORPORATION ET AL,

Defendant. /

No. C02-02118 MJJ

ORDER DENYING ADMINISTRATIVE

MOTION TO RESCHEDULE SUMMARY

JUDGMENT HEARING DATE

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff Ralph Miller’s Administrative Motion to Reschedule

Summary Judgment Hearing Date. (Doc. #616.) In his Motion, Plaintiff requests that the Court

continue the hearing set for July 21, 2006, because Plaintiff’s lead counsel, William Mueller, is unable

to travel by airplane to attend the hearing. Although the Court previously advised Plaintiff that his

counsel may appear telephonically at the hearing, Plaintiff asserts that allowing his counsel to appear

telephonically, while opposing counsel may appear in-person, puts him “at a fundamental and

prejudicial disadvantage.” The Court has considered Plaintiff’s request and finds that Plaintiff has failed

to show any prejudice to him by holding the hearing on July 21, 2006, and allowing Mr. Mueller to

appear telephonically. The Court therefore DENIES Plaintiff’s Motion. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
