Case No.: 2:16−CV−00128−WBS−EFB

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

REQUEST FOR TELEPHONIC 

APPEARANCE FOR DEFENDANTS’

MOTION TO DISMISS FIRST AMENDED 

COMPLAINT_____

)

Plaintiff’s attorney has requested to appear by phone at the hearing on defendants’ 

motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint. Plaintiff chose to retain an attorney whose 

office is in San Francisco, and plaintiff’s counsel filed the action in this court. Because 

plaintiff’s attorney’s office is a relatively short distance from the courthouse, and no reason has 

been suggested why counsel could not personally appear at the hearing, the motion is DENIED.
