Case No.: 3:09-cv-05711 

REQUEST FOR TELEPHONIC 

APPEARANCE AT CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Date: March 12, 2010 

Time: 2:30 p.m.

Place: Ctrm. 10, 19th Floor

Nicholas J. Bontrager, counsel for Plaintiff, FLOYD JONES, respectfully requests this 

Honorable Court allow his telephonic appearance for Case Management Conference pursuant to 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) currently scheduled for March 12, 2010 at 2:20 pm. Counsel’s office is 

located in Los Angeles, California and appearing by telephone will avoid the significant time and 

resources needed to secure travel and appearance for the present hearing. Further, as the statues 

for which Plaintiff seeks relief under (FDCPA and RFDCPA) contain a “fee-shifting” provision, 

allowing Plaintiff to avoid the significant costs and expenses of securing travel from Los 

Angeles, CA to San Francisco, CA will allow the parties to continue working towards a mutual 

resolution of the case without a significant increase in the Plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and costs 

and thus making informal resolution more likely.
