 Plaintiff,

 v.

RONSIN PHOTOCOPY, INC., 

 Defendants.

_____________________________/

No. C 07-5242 PJH

ORDER

On May 20, 2008, the undersigned received correspondence from defense counsel,

Stephen L. Dahm, requesting that his client, Mr. Christina Sanchez, be excused from

personally attending an upcoming mediation on June 6, 2008. On May 23, 2008, the

undersigned received a response from Plaintiff's counsel objecting to Mr. Dahm's request.

Defendant's request is DENIED. Mr. Dahm has provided no facts to support a

conclusion that Ms. Sanchez's personal appearance at the mediation would impose an

"extraordinary or otherwise unjustifiable hardship." See ADR Local Rule 6-9(d). Moreover,

under the circumstances of this case, the fundamental objectives of mediation would be

compromised if Ms. Sanchez did not personally attend the session.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 23, 2008
