ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT’S

REQUEST FOR TELEPHONIC

APPEARANCE

[Doc. No. 41]

On August 1, 2008, Defendant Bear Stearns Residential Mortgage

Corp. requested that its client representative be permitted to appear by

telephone for the August 25, 2008 Mandatory Settlement Conference

(“MSC”). Doc. No. 41. In support, Bear Stearns states that it would

be inconvenienced by having its representative travel from outside the

state. Id.

In the order setting the MSC, the Court stated that the personal

appearance requirement would only be waived for “extraordinary

circumstances.” Doc. No. 24. Because out-of-state travel does not

constitute an extraordinary circumstance in this case, and because the

Court believes that settlement discussions will be more fruitful if all

parties appear in person, Defendant’s request is DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
