REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY AT AUGUST 4, 2010 FURTHER CMC 

CASE NO: C08-04289 JL 

1. As it currently stands, Mr. Markowitz is scheduled to be in Minneapolis, Minnesota 

on August 4, 2010 for the deposition of AMS employee Ginger Glaser in this case. Ms. Glaser’s 

deposition is scheduled to occur during the afternoon of August 4th, after the CMC. 

2. Although plaintiffs’ counsel, Amy Eskin, may be taking Ms. Glaser’s deposition 

remotely, by videoteleconference, Mr. Markowitz’s presence in Minnesota is still required for 

same. 

3. Rather than seek a continuance of the August 4th CMC, AMS seeks permission for 

Mr. Markowitz to appear telephonically at the CMC, while senior associate Kimberly I. McIntyre 

of Kenney & Markowitz L.L.P. would simultaneously and personally appear at the CMC on 

behalf of AMS. 

4. In the event the schedule changes and Mr. Markowitz is available, he, too, will 

personally be in attendance at the CMC on behalf of AMS. 

 Respectfully submitted, 

DATED: July 28, 2010 KENNEY & MARKOWITZ L.L.P
