TIFFANY PON, 

Plaintiff,

 v.

PIER 1 IMPORTS, INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C-09-0420-PJH EDL

ORDER GRANTING REQUEST TO

APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY

 On April 21, 2010, Plaintiff’s counsel filed a request to appear telephonically at the April 28,

2010 hearing on: (1) Plaintiff’s Motion for Order to Quash Subpoena and that Deposition Not Be

Held; (2) Defendant’s Motion Challenging the Sufficiency of Plaintiff’s Responses to Defendant’s

Requests for Admission; and (3) Defendant’s Motion to Compel Discovery Responses and

Production of Documents. 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 briefly

and shall pause at regular intervals to allow the court to comment on the information presented. If

the Court concludes that the telephonic appearance is interfering with the hearing, the Court may

continue the hearing and may order personal appearances. 

Counsel shall stand by beginning at 2:00 p.m. on April 28, 2010 until called by the Court.

Dated: April 22, 2010
