MONA ALLEN, et al.

Plaintiffs,

v.

COUNTY OF LAKE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-03934-TEH (ADR)

ORDER RE: ATTENDANCE AT ENE

Date: January 12, 2016

ENE Evaluator: David Levy

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the request to excuse plaintiffs Mona Allen, Carl Ray 

Harris, Jonathan Holt, Shaun Jones, Scott Outhout, Elvin Sikes, Nina Faye Sikes, Nicole Van 

Schaick, Preston Warren and Hal Muskat from appearing in person at the January 12, 2016, ENE

before David Levy is DENIED without prejudice. ADR L.R. 5-10 (d) sets forth that all parties are 

required to attend the ENE session unless they can demonstrate that requiring their presence would 

cause them "extraordinary or otherwise unjustifiable hardship." Plaintiffs' request suggests that 

some of the plaintiffs may have legitimate medical excuses that would warrant their appearing 

telephonically but the specifics of the request are vague. The court requires further, specific and 

individualized information, including, where applicable, written statements from medical 

providers, before it could grant the request. Any such further request should be submitted by no 

later than January 7, 2016.

Defendants' request to excuse Francisco Rivero, Chris Macedo, Richard Coel, Dennis 

Kiethly, Joe Dutra, Steve Herdt, Michael Lockett and Frank Walsh is GRANTED on the condition
