IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC JAMES BAKER, 

Plaintiff,

 v.

COUNTY OF SONOMA,

Defendants. /

No. 08-03433 EDL

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO

APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY

 On February 1, 2010, Plaintiff’s counsel filed a request to appear telephonically at the motion

hearing set for February 2, 2010 at 4:00 p.m. The Court notes that the request was made less than 36

hours before the hearing, and does not set forth good cause for the request. However, the Court

understands that lead counsel for Plaintiff is based in New York and as a practical matter has

probably made the request too late to make travel arrangements to appear in person. Therefore, the

Court reluctantly GRANTS the Request.

Counsel shall stand by beginning at the date and time above until called by the Court. The

Court will call counsel at (646) 723-2454 when the courtroom deputy calls this case. Counsel shall

be ready to answer the Court’s call personally. 

Dated: February 1 , 2010
