Plaintiffs,

Defendants. /

No. 99-04941 MMC (EDL)

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO

APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY

 On June 8, 2006, Plaintiffs’ counsel Windle Turley and Jon Levy filed a request to appear

telephonically at the motion hearing set for June 13, 2006 at 9:00 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 to hear a response by the opposing party, the court will 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. 

Counsel shall stand by beginning at the date and time above until called by the Court. No later

than June 12, 2006, Plaintiffs’ counsel shall call the Court’s courtroom deputy at 415-522-3694 to
