ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY SERVICE 

BUREAU, INC, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

J COPELLO INTERNATIONAL CORP. 

D/B/A COPELLO ELECTRIC CO., 

Defendant. 

Case No. 15-cv-01946-JSW 

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

LEAVE TO APPEAR BY TELEPHONE 

AT CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE AND INSTRUCTIONS 

TO COUNSEL 

Re: Dkt. No. 30 

The Court DENIES the request of Defendant J. Copello International Corp. for leave to 

appear telephonically at the January 8, 2016 case management conference. All parties must 

appear in person through lead counsel with authority to enter into stipulations, to make 

admissions, and to agree to further scheduling dates. The Court finds that Defendant has not 

shown good cause to be excused from this requirement. Additionally, the Court admonishes 

Defendant for e-filing this request as an additional “case management statement,” rather than as a 

stipulation and proposed order or as a motion under this Court’s rules. Counsel is reminded that 

parties requesting administrative or procedural relief from the Court must submit a signed 

stipulation and proposed order, or, if stipulation is not possible, a Motion for Administrative 

Relief, as contemplated by Civil Local Rule 7-11. Civil Standing Orders, ¶ 4. 

The joint case management statement does not set forth Defendant’s position regarding 

settlement and ADR. Counsel should familiarize themselves with this Court’s ADR Local Rules 

and, at the case management conference, the parties shall be prepared to discuss “[p]rospects for 

settlement, ADR efforts to date, and a specific ADR plan for the case, including compliance with 

ADR L.R. 3-5 and a description of key discovery or motions necessary to position the parties to 

negotiate a resolution.” Standing Order for All Judges of the Northern District of California, ¶ 12.
