Defendants. /

No. 03-04636 JSW EDL

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO

APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY

 On May 9, 2006, Plaintiff’s counsel Alex Weyand filed a request to appear telephonically at

the motion hearing set for May 16, 2006 at 2:00 p.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

counsel or making a comment or ruling whenever any participant speaks at length. Accordingly,

counsel 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 counsel 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 May 15, 2006, counsel shall call the Court’s courtroom deputy at 415-522-3694 to provide the

Court with a direct dial number to call on for this appearance. 

Dated: May 10, 2006
