20 Group to appear for the March 22, 2017 hearing. The Court also required Defendants’ counsel to
21 personally serve a copy of the March 9, 2017 order on Defendants Richard Tate, Tate Publishing

However, the Court stated that Defendant Richard Tate and representatives for

4 Defendant Tate Publishing & Enterprises, LLC, and/or Defendant Tate Music Group could
5 request to appear by video or telephonically with the request coming from Defendants’ counsel.
