Plaintiffs,

et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:

By letter dated May 26, 2006, John A. Beranbaum, counsel for cross defendant Richard

Dodd, requested that both he and Richard Dodd be excused from personally appearing at the

settlement conference scheduled for June 9, 2006. No opposition was filed by any party.

Upon consideration of the request, the Court finds good cause for excusing personal

attendance by Mr. Dodd and his counsel. Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that Richard Dodd and

John A. Beranbaum be available by telephone from 9:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time until further

notice on June 9, 2006.

If the court concludes that the absence of either Mr. Dodd or Mr. Beranbaum is interfering

with the settlement conference, the Court may continue the settlement conference and may order

personal attendance by each party, including Richard Dodd and John A. Beranbaum.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
