Defendants. /

No. C 05-03175 EDL

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO

APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY

 On July 23, 2007, Plaintiff’s counsel faxed a request to appear telephonically at the motion

hearing set for July 24, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. due to a scheduling conflict with another matter. IT IS

HEREBY ORDERED that the request is denied. Telephonic appearances are disfavored, and

Plaintiff has not shown good cause for the Court to grant that relief in this case. Moreover, the July

24, 2007 hearing date was set by court order on July 10, 2007, in response to Plaintiff’s request to

shorten time to hear Plaintiff’s motion to compel. Plaintiff has offered no explanation as to why he

waited until the day before the hearing to request to appear by telephone.
