WHEREAS, Plaintiffs Deltakeeper Chapter of Baykeeper, Sierra Club Mother Lode Chapter, 

and Waterkeeper Alliance, Inc. (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendants S & H Dairy, Ronald Hilarides, and Peter 

Schaafsma (“Defendants”) are conducting a settlement conference with the Honorable Judge Beck on 

December 13, 2006. 

WHEREAS, on November 2, 2006, the parties conducted their Case Management Conference 

with Judge Wanger at which time Plaintiffs requested that Waterkeeper Alliance representative, Mr. Jeff 

Odefey, be allowed to participate in the settlement conference by telephone. 

WHEREAS, during the November 2, 2006, Case Management Conference counsel for 

Defendants stated he had no objection to Mr. Odefey participating in the conference by telephone. 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Judge Wanger’s November 14, 2006, Scheduling Conference Order, a 

party may be allowed to appear by telephone if the party is not the attorney trying the case, the party 

lives and works outside the Eastern District of California, and attendance at the conference would be a 

hardship. See Scheduling Conference Order, Section XIII, ¶ 3. 

WHEREAS, Mr. Odefey is not an attorney of record in the action, he lives and works in the State 

of New York, and his personal appearance at the conference would constitute a hardship. Specifically, 

Mr. Odefey would have to travel from New York on the December 12th in order to be present for the 

10:30 conference and thus his travel and lodging would unduly increase the costs in this action. Mr. 

Odefey agrees to the Court’s requirement that he be available “throughout the conference until excused 

regardless of time zone differences.” Scheduling Conference Order, Section XIII, ¶ 3. At the Court’s 

convenience Mr. Odefey will call into the Court’s conference line, or will be available at 10:30 at the 

following telephone number (914)-674-0622 x17.
