Case No.: C 06-5419 PVT

ORDER DENYING REQUEST TO

APPEAR BY TELEPHONE AT CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

Plaintiff, AT&T Corporation has requested permission for its counsel to appear by telephone

at the Case Management Conference on December 5, 2006.1 The court’s sound system for telephone

appearances is less than ideal, and thus personal appearance by counsel is preferred unless

circumstances make such personal appearance unreasonably burdensome. The only reason stated is

the fact that Plaintiff’s chosen attorney is located in Costa Mesa, and will thus need to travel to

appear for the Case Management Conference. Given the amount in controversy and the size of

Plaintiff, it is not unreasonable to require Plaintiff’s counsel to make court appearances in person.

Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s request is DENIED.

Dated: 11/29/06
