9:30a.m. for a settlement conference as to both the above captioned case and the above related 

criminal case.

The Court is advised that siblings and Petitioners/Stricken Claimants Tyrel Graves, 

William Graves, and Bo Graves intend to and will personally attend the settlement conference, 

but the parties request that Petitioner/Stricken Claimant Sensi Graves, be permitted to be 

available by telephone at the settlement conference. 

This request is made on the grounds that personal appearance at the hearing would cause 

substantial hardship and significant expense, as Ms. Graves is currently, and has been for some 

time, working in North Carolina running a women's kite (water sport) camp with one other 

instructor and 10 female students. Ms. Graves researched airfare after being informed that her 

personal attendance might be required at the conference, but the price of tickets on the short 

notice combined with the days missed (resulting in lost wages and hardship on the single 

remaining instructor) make it essentially impossible for her to travel to San Francisco without 

incurring substantial hardship and significant expense. Ms. Graves was contacted by undersigned 

on today’s date, acknowledges that she must be available on the phone during the pendency of 

the conference and has indicated in writing that she gives unlimited authority to her siblings, 

Petitioners/Stricken Claimants Tyrel Graves, William Graves, and Bo Graves, to negotiate a 

settlement and otherwise settle the above numbered cases.

Plaintiff’s attorney was contacted by email and has no objection to this request.
