No. CV-05-3923-PHX-NVW

ORDER

The court has received and reviewed Plaintiff's Motion to Appear at Settlement

Conference via Teleconference as a Reasonable Accommodation (Doc. #36) and the

opposition and reply thereto. The court notes that the plaintiff was admitted to the hospital

on September 18, 2006, with pulmonary and cardiac complications related to her disability

and that as of September 21, 2006, her physicians will not commit to when it will be safe to

release the Plaintiff from the hospital. 

Because of the Plaintiff's uncertain medical status at this time and the importance of

the Plaintiff being present in person to facilitate in the effectiveness of the settlement

conference, the court will vacate the current settlement conference date. Settlement

conference will be reset when the court is advised by Plaintiff's counsel that the Plaintiff is

stable and able to attend the settlement conference in person. The court is aware of Judge

Wake's order extending the deadline for engaging in good faith settlement talks to October
