UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendants.

 /

No. 05-01216 EDL

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO

APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY

 

On September 12, 2005, Plaintiffs’ counsel filed a request to appear telephonically at the initial case

management conference set for September 13, 2005 at 3:00 p.m. 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 party

on the telephone or making a comment or ruling whenever any participant speaks at length. Accordingly,

the party on the telephone shall only speak in response to a direct question from the court and shall pause at

regular intervals to allow the court to comment on the information presented. No party on the telephone

shall attempt to present information without a request from the court. If the party appearing by telephone

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 appearance. Counsel shall

stand by beginning at the date and time above until called by the Court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 12, 2005
