RE: Big Lagoon Rancheria v. State of California 

(U.S.D.C., N.D. Cal., Case No. C-09-01471-CW (JCS) 

Request for Telephonic Appearance at Hearing of February 26, 2010

Your Honor, 

In reference to the above-captioned case, this letter is to respectfully request permission of 

the Court to make a telephonic appearance at the hearing, set for Friday, February 26, 2010 

at 9:30 a.m. before Your Honor. The hearing pertains to Defendant the State of California’s 

Motion for Protective Order. The reason for my telephonic appearance is that I will be out 

of the country on the date of the hearing, attending a long-planned firm meeting, which has 

been scheduled for many months. My associate, Irene V. Gutierrez, will be in attendance in 

person at the hearing. 

This letter will also confirm that my office will work out the logistical details of the 

telephonic appearance with your courtroom deputy, Karen Hom. 

Thank you for your consideration of this request. 

Very truly yours, 

/s/ 

Peter J. Engstrom
