ED NICHOLS, 

Plaintiff,

 v.

CHAPARRAL BOATS, INC.,

Defendants. /

No. C 06-04731 EDL

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO

APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY

 On February 21, 2007 and February 23, 2007, Plaintiff’s and Defendants’ counsel filed a

request to appear telephonically at the initial case management conference set for March 6, 2007 at

10:00 a.m. 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 in

response to a direct question from the court and shall pause at regular intervals to allow the court to

comment on the information presented. If the court wishes to hear a response by the opposing party,

the court will inform the party from whom information is requested. No party shall attempt to

present information without a request from the court. If the parties cannot follow the rules set forth

in this order, or at the first sign of improper decorum, the telephonic appearance will be terminated

and a new hearing date will be set for personal appearances.
