 Plaintiff American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (“Honda”) and defendant The Coast 

Distribution System, Inc. (“Coast”) hereby request that the Court allow the parties to meet and 

confer, as required by Local Rule 37-1(a), by telephone rather than in person. A dispute appears 

to have arisen between the parties relating to whether Honda must respond to discovery directed 

to whether (and, if so, how) Honda contends that certain Coast products infringe the patents-insuit. Although the Court’s Standing Order Re: Discovery and Dispute Procedures requires that 

the parties meet and confer in person for the purpose of resolving such disputes, Coast’s counsel, 

although admitted to practice before this Court, is based in Portland, Oregon. In order for the 

parties to meet and confer in person, counsel for Coast would be required to travel from Portland 

to San Francisco, causing what the parties believe to be undue burden and expense. Because 

Coast seeks to avoid such burden and expense, and because the parties believe they can make a 

good faith effort to resolve this discovery dispute over the telephone, there is good cause for the 

Court to grant this request.
