Plaintiffs,

 v.

GENERAL STAR INDEMNITY 

COMPANY, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. 06-00212 EDL

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO

APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY

 On April 4, 2006, Plaintiffs’ and Defendant’s counsel filed a request to appear telephonically at

the initial case management conference set for April 18, 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 parties or making a comment or ruling whenever any participant speaks at length. 

Accordingly, the parties 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. If the court

wishes a rebuttal from the opposing party, the court shall inform the party from whom information is

requested. No party shall attempt to present information without a request from the court. If the

parties 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

appearances.
