Defendants. /

No. 07-02865 EDL

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO

APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY

 On November 16, 2007, Plaintiff’s and Defendants’ counsel filed a request to appear

telephonically at the initial case management conference set for November 27, 2007 at 10:00 a.m.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Request is GRANTED subject to the

following caution. The Court disfavors telephonic appearances because the technology prevents the

Court from addressing a question to the parties or making a comment or ruling whenever any

participant speaks at length. Accordingly, the parties shall only speak in response to a direct

question from the Court and shall pause at regular intervals to allow the Court to comment on the

information presented. If the Court wishes to hear a response by the opposing party, the Court will

inform the party from whom information is requested. No party shall attempt to present information

without a request from the Court. If the parties cannot follow the rules set forth in this order, or at

the first sign of improper decorum, the telephonic appearance will be terminated and a new hearing

date will be set for personal appearances.
