ANDREA MORROW,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMERCIAL TRADE, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-03399-YGR 

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

TELEPHONIC APPEARANCE; CONTINUING 

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE;

SETTING COMPLIANCE HEARING

Re: Dkt. No. 15

Defendant has filed a motion to appear by telephone at the initial Case Management 

Conference (“CMC”) set for November 9, 2015. (Dkt. No. 15.) The basis for the motion is that 

defense counsel is located in Sacramento, California, “approximately 85 miles” from the Court. 

(Id. at 1.) The request is DENIED. The Court has reviewed the parties’ joint CMC statement and 

determined that personal appearances are required. However, the CMC currently set for 

November 9, 2015 is CONTINUED to November 30, 2015.

Alternatively, the parties may consent to a magistrate judge of their choice for all purposes. 

The Court SETS a compliance hearing on November 20, 2015 at 9:01 a.m. in the Federal 

Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, Courtroom 1. Five (5) business days prior to 

the date of the compliance hearing, the parties shall file either: (1) a joint stipulation to a 

magistrate judge for all purposes, or (2) a joint statement verifying counsel have personally 

reviewed each magistrate judge’s profile and have discussed the options with opposing counsel 

and their clients but have been unable to reach consensus. If compliance is complete, the parties 

need not appear and the compliance hearing will be taken off calendar. Failure to file the required 

joint filing may result in sanctions. If the parties have not stipulated to a magistrate judge, the
