MOTION FOR GENERAL COUNSEL TO

APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY AT THE

MANDATORY SETTLEMENT

CONFERENCE

[Doc. No. 21]

On April 1, 2009, counsel for Defendants D.R. Horton, Inc. and

James Pritchett filed a motion requesting that David Morice, General

Counsel for D.R. Horton, Inc., be allowed to appear telephonically at

the April 13, 2009 Mandatory Settlement Conference (“MSC”). Doc. No.

Texas and therefore personal attendance at the conference would cause

an undue burden. Id. Additionally, counsel represents that an

independent adjustor with full settlement authority will appear in

person at the MSC. Id. 

Good cause appearing, the Court hereby GRANTS Defendants’ motion.

Mr. Morice may appear telephonically at the MSC set for April 13, 2009

at 9:30 a.m. In order for the Court to initiate the call, Defendants’
