UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

E-SMART TECHNOLOGIES

Plaintiff(s), No. C 06-05528 MHP (EDL)

v. ORDER RE: PERSONAL APPEARANCE 

WAYNE DRIZIN

Defendant(s).

___________________________________/

The Court received a telephone call on behalf of Plaintiff’s counsel regarding the Court’s May

20, 2008 Order requiring the personal appearance of Plaintiff’s principal, Mary Grace, at the May 29,

2008 settlement conference. The Court was informed that Ms. Grace is out of the country and that

Plaintiff’s counsel did not intend to bring any client representative to the settlement conference. The

Court’s April 24, 2008 Notice of Settlement Conference and Settlement Conference Order states that:

“Lead trial counsel shall appear at the Settlement Conference with the parties and with the person or

persons having full authority to negotiate and to settle the case.” See April 24, 2008 Order at 1:22-23.

The Court has not relieved Plaintiff’s counsel or her client of the court-ordered obligation that the

person having full authority to settle this matter attend in person. Moreover, the Court has specifically

ordered Ms. Grace to appear. 

SO ORDERED.
