ORDER DECLINING TO EXCUSE

PERSONAL ATTENDANCE AT

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

By letter dated November 7, 2007 defendant Tiger Oak

Publications requested that its representative be permitted to

attend the Settlement Conference by telephone on the grounds

that it is located out of state and wishes to avoid the

expense of traveling to San Francisco for the conference.

defendant’s request is DENIED.

attend unless the corporation has no one else with full

settlement authority to represent it.
