UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN SMITH, No. C 05-02049 PVT (RS)

Plaintiff,

v. ORDER EXCUSING ATTENDANCE

AT SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

BIGGIE CRANE AND RIGGING,

et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:

By letter dated September 28, 2005, defendant Black & Veatch Corporation, through its counsel,

Mark S. Lee, requested that its principal be excused from personally appearing at the settlement

conference scheduled for October 7, 2005. No opposition was filed by any party.

Upon consideration of the request, the Court finds good cause for excusing personal attendance. 

Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that Black & Veatch Corporation's principal be available by telephone

from 9:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time until further notice on October 7, 2005.

If the court concludes that her absence is interfering with the settlement conference, the Court may

continue the settlement conference and may order personal attendance by each party including defendant's

principal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 3, 2005
