ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO 

MEET AND CONFER BY PHONE

The Court’s pretrial order required the parties to meet and confer regarding exhibits. 

Defendants’ counsel has informed the Court that Plaintiff insists upon meeting in person. He has 

expressed his opinion that the obligation to premark exhibits can be accomplished over the 

telephone. To meet in person would involve driving three and one-half hours each way from 

Sacramento to Coalinga and billing the client agency $170 per hour. Defendants’ counsel argues 

that meeting in person would be unduly burdensome and unnecessarily costly given the task can 

be easily accomplished over the telephone. In this instance, the Court agrees. 

Plaintiff is ordered to meet and confer with Defendants’ counsel by telephone “to ensure 

against duplication of exhibits by offering joint exhibits where possible.” Doc. 96 at 10. 

Defendants’ counsel is directed to use best efforts to ensure that Plaintiff is provided a copy of 

this order as quickly and to make all necessary arrangement to confer telephonically as soon as 

possible.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
