IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GLORIA GRENING WOLK,

Plaintiff,

 v.

PHILIP R. GREEN,

Defendant. /

No. C-06-05025 BZ (EDL)

ORDER RECONSIDERING DENIAL OF

PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST TO APPEAR

BY TELEPHONE AND GRANTING

PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST

On March 24, 2008, Plaintiff faxed a letter requesting to appear by telephone at the April 2,

2008 settlement conference on the ground that she lives and works on the east coast. On March 25,

2008, the Court denied that request. Later that day, Plaintiff faxed a letter to the Court seeking

reconsideration of that Order, stating that she had not been “completely honest” in explaining her

reasons for her request to appear by telephone. Plaintiff has now explained that she has various

health concerns and out of pocket expenses related to those health issues that prevent her from being

able to travel to California for the settlement conference. As explained in the Court’s March 25,

2008 Order, Plaintiff’s request is untimely. However, given Plaintiff’s claims of ill health, the Court

reluctantly grants Plaintiff’s request to appear by telephone. If the Court concludes that Plaintiff’s

absence is interfering with the settlement conference, the Court may continue the settlement

conference and may order Plaintiff’s personal attendance. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
