TO THE HONORABLE MAGISTRATE JUDGE JEREMY PETERSON:
23
The Court ordered an early settlement conference for this matter for April 9, 2024 at 10:00
24
a.m. Defendants M. Pompa, E. Schulte, D. Rodriguez, R. Rodriguez Jr., J. Garcia and F.
25
Martinez request this Court excuse their personal appearances at the upcoming settlement

Defendants’ Request to Excuse Appearance (1:18-cv-00988-KES-HBK)
1
Defendants will be represented by Deputy Attorney General John W. Faulconer and Deputy
2
Attorney General Brittany Boiko at the settlement conference. (Declaration of John W. Faulconer
3
(Faulconer Decl.), ¶ 1.)
4
Defendants’ representatives will have authority to settle this matter. (Faulconer Decl., ¶ 2.)
5
Good cause exists to excuse the appearances of Defendants at the settlement conference.
6
The Defendants perform various roles at Kern Valley State Prison and Wasco State Prison.
7
(Faulconer Decl., ¶ 3.) Requiring Defendants to attend the settlement conference proceedings
8
will divert them from their daily responsibilities. (Id.) The daily duties of Defendants include the
9
maintenance of prison security, supervising inmates, and providing services to inmates. (Id.)
10
Their absences may disrupt normal activity at the institution, and redirect staff, including staff
11
with other critical responsibilities. (Id.)
12
Because settlement decisions and full monetary authority for the upcoming conference will
13
lie with the Defendants’ counsel, it is respectfully requested that the Court excuse Defendants
14
from appearing on April 9, 2024.
