ORDER

Before the Court is a motion for leave to appear telephonically at the preliminary

pretrial conference on December 18, 2007 by Defendant Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc.’s

corporate representative (Dkt. 19). Defendant does not anticipate completing its

investigation into the cause of the fire at issue, and thus being in a position to discuss

settlement, by the date of the settlement conference. Additionally, Defendant’s corporate

representative would have to travel from out of state, though counsel for Defendant will

appear personally at the conference. Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED granting Defendant Black & Decker’s request to permit

its corporate representative to appear telephonically at the pretrial conference. Defendant’s

corporate representative shall call Judge McNamee’s chambers (602-322-7555) no later than

10:55 AM (Mountain Standard Time) on December 18, 2007.

DATED this 6th day of November, 2007.
