ROMERO ET AL, 

Plaintiff,

 v.

 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendants. /

No. 05-01216 EDL

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO

APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY

 On February 23, 2006, Plaintiff’s counsel filed a request to appear telephonically at the initial

case management conference set for February 28, 2006 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 party on the telephone or making a comment or ruling whenever any participant

speaks at length. Accordingly, the party on the telephone 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. No party on the telephone shall attempt to present information without a

request from the Court. If the party appearing by telephone 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 appearance. Counsel shall stand by beginning at the date

and time above until called by the Court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 24, 2006
