Plaintiffs Lindsey and Jeff Aberin, Don Awtrey, Charles Burgess, Daniel Criner, John 

Kelly, Yun-Fei Lou, Joy Matza, and Melissa Yeung (“Plaintiffs”), and Defendant American 

Honda Motor Co., Inc. (“AHM”), pursuant to Paragraph D of the Court’s Standing Order for all 

Civil Cases, and subject to approval by the Court, hereby stipulate and request that counsel for 

Plaintiffs and AHM may be permitted appear telephonically at the Seventh Status Conference 

scheduled to take place on July 18, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific time in Courtroom 9 of the abovecaptioned Court, and in support state as follows:

1. The parties filed their Seventh Joint Case Management Statement on July 9, 2018 

(D.E. 151);

2. The parties anticipate that the Status Conference will be brief because, as 

evidenced by the Joint Statement, they have identified only a small number of issues meriting the 

Court’s attention at this time;

3. The attorneys who will be appearing on behalf of AHM and Plaintiffs at the 

Status Conference reside in Chicago and Philadelphia, respectively;

4. Given the anticipated brevity of the Seventh Status Conference, the relatively high 

cost of cross-country travel, and a mutual desire to preserve party resources, the parties have met 

and conferred and agreed to submit this joint request to the Court for permission to appear at the 

Status Conference by telephone;

WHEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AND REQUEST that the Court 

enter an Order permitting attorneys for all parties to appear telephonically at the Seventh Status 

Conference on July 18, 2018.

DATED: July 11, 2018 Respectfully Submitted,
