Re: Request to appear by telephone in Center for Biological Diversity, et al. v. United

States Fish and Wildlife Service, et al., Civ. No. 3:07-cv-4347 

Dear Judge Spero:

This Court has set a Case Management Conference on Friday, December 14, 2008 at

10:30 a.m. (1:30 p.m. EST). 

Counsel for Federal Defendants respectfully requests permission to appear at the case

management conference by telephone. Counsel for Federal Defendants is located in

Washington, D.C. and would be required to spend two days in travel if he appears in person for

the conference and would cost substantial time and expense. (If, however, the Court should deny

this request, counsel for Federal Defendant will appear in person at the conference.)

If the Court grants this request, counsel for Federal Defendants will make all necessary

arrangements to appear by telephone. My direct line is 202-305-0229 and I will be available to

take the Court’s call at 10:30 a.m. (1:30 p.m. EST). Thank you.

Sincerely,

/s/ Rickey D. Turner, Jr.
