________________________________________________)

On March 22, 2006, Federal Defendants’ counsel, Barclay Samford filed a request to appear

telephonically at the motion hearing set for March 28, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. This request is unopposed.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Request is 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, parties appearing telephonically shall only speak in

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

to comment on the information presented. Of the Court wishes a rebuttal from the opposing party,

The Court shall 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.
