[PROPOSED] EXCUSING DEFENDANT LIU FROM 

ATTENDANCE AT THE JULY 21, 2006 MEDIATION 

(CASE NO. C 06-0678 JSW) 

1261604.1

Defendant Nan Liu having requested through her counsel of record that she be excused 

from attending the mediation set for July 21, 2006 before Mediator Kristen Maloney on the 

ground that the disruption of a previously scheduled vacation from July 17 through July 28, 2006 

would impose an extraordinary or otherwise unjustifiable hardship for her to attend the mediation 

on July 21, 2006; Defendant Liu having committed to be available by cell phone should there be a 

need to consult with her concerning any issue that may affect settlement prospects; and counsel 

for Defendant Liu having represented that no other party objects to Defendant Liu’s absence from 

the mediation in these circumstances. 

The Court, after considering this request and considering the requirements of ADR Local 

Rule 6-9, hereby excuses Defendant Nan Liu from personal attendance at the July 21, 2006 

mediation and directs that she be available for consultation by telephone, during the mediation, if 

needed. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: July 5, 2006
