Re: Great American Insurance Group v. TG Associates, LLC, et al. 

Case No: 14-CV-01546-NC (JCS) 

Your Honor: 

At the scheduling conference with Judge Kim for the Mandatory Settlement Conference 

scheduled for May 3, 2016, I notified Judge Kim that the client representative, Larry 

Deatherage, Court-appointed Guardian ad Litem for Defendants Kenneth B. Rawlings, 

and Trustee of the Kenneth Rawlings Trust of 2002, was not available on May 3, 2016 

because he must be in San Diego that day. Therefore, Judge Kim excused Mr. 

Deatherage's presence at the Settlement Conference and allowed him to appear by 

phone. Consequently, I assume that Mr. Deatherage's presence continues to be 

excused for the May 3, 2016 Settlement Conference. I also note that the City Attorney 

for the City of Tracy is also not available and Judge Kim made the same arrangements 

for the City Attorney. 

All parties are aware of Judge Kim’s order excusing Mr. Deatherage from personal 

appearance and we plan to have Mr. Deatherage available by telephone for the 

May 3, 2016 Settlement Conference. 

Respectfully yours, 

Tyson M. Shower
