Plaintiff IKON Office Solutions, Inc. ("IKON") hereby requests an Order from

2 this Court authorizing its pro hac vice counsel of record, Thomas T. Loder, who is 3 located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to appear telephonically to argue IKON's 4 Opposition to Defendant Christy Friend's ("Friend") Motion To Dismiss the Tortious 5 Interference and Breach of Duty Of Loyalty Claims Stated in IKON's Second 6 Amended Complaint (the "Motion to Dismiss"), at the hearing scheduled for April 11, 7 2011, at 2:00 p.m. PDT. 8

Counsel for IKON has spoken to Counsel for Friend regarding this Request for

9 Telephonic Appearance (this "Request"), and Counsel for Friend has represented that 10 Friend will not object to this Request. Additionally, during their discussion regarding 11 this Request, the respective counsel for IKON and Friend agreed that the hearing on 12 the Motion to Dismiss would likely last no more than twenty minutes. 13

Good cause exists for granting this Request because essential financial

14 resources can be saved if Mr. Loder is allowed to appear telephonically on behalf of 15 IKON at the April 11, 2011 hearing, and avoid the substantial cost of a plane ticket 16 and a hotel room for an appearance that may last no more than twenty minutes. 17

Mr. Loder will be available at telephone number 215-979-1246 for the

18 Courtroom Deputy to initiate his telephonic appearance 5 to 10 minutes prior to the 19 hearing on the Motion to Dismiss scheduled for April 11, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. PDT. 20

IKON respectfully submits this Request and the attached [Proposed] Order for

21 the Court's consideration. 22 23 24 25 26 27 Dated: April 6, 2011 28 2
