WARNER BROS. ENTERTAINMENT INC., 

Plaintiff,

 v.

LILIAN YABUT,

Defendants. /

No. 06-01923 CW (EDL)

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO

APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY

 On August 22, 2006, Plaintiff’s lead counsel filed a request to appear telephonically at the

hearing on Plaintiff’s Application for Entry of Default Judgment, scheduled for September 19, 2006

at 9:00 a.m. Plaintiff’s local counsel will appear in person at the hearing. 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 the parties or making a comment or ruling whenever any participant speaks at length. 

Accordingly, the parties 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 the court

wishes to hear a response by the opposing party, the court will inform the party from whom

information is requested. No party shall attempt to present information without a request from the

court. If the parties 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.
