IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION 

Winding Creek Solar LLC, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

California Public Utilities Commission, 

 Defendants. 

____________________________________/ 

No. C 13-04934 RS 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE 

RELIEF FOR ORDER PERMITTING 

APPEARANCE TELEPHONICALLY 

AT THE JANUARY 23, 2014 

HEARING ON DEFENDANT’S 

MOTION TO DISMISS 

Plaintiff’s motion for administrative relief for an order permitting it to appear 

telephonically at the January 23, 2014 hearing on defendant’s motion to dismiss is denied. 

 In this court’s experience, telephonic hearings on substantive motions are no substitute 

for oral argument where counsel are physically present and often entail the problem of all 

participants talking over each other. In the event that both parties request the submission of the 

motion without oral argument, the court will consider that request. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: January 6, 2014
