REQUEST FOR TELEPHONIC COURT APPEARANCE BY PLAINTIFFS’ COUNSEL AT APRIL 20, 2011 STATUS CONFERENCE – Case No. 2:10-CV-02896-KJM-KJN -1- 1 Defendant has not yet finished preparing the administrative record for this case. Once it does 2 so, the parties intend to confer about a schedule for summary judgment briefing and present a 3 proposed schedule to the Court. 4 Because Plaintiffs’ counsel are located in Palo Alto, California and Boise, Idaho, they 5 request permission to appear by telephone for what they anticipate will be a relatively routine 6 conference in order to conserve resources and most efficiently represent their clients. In 7 addition, the Stanford Environmental Law Clinic, which serves as California counsel for 8 Plaintiffs, has another case management conference previously scheduled on April 20, 2011 at 9 8:30 a.m., in Marin County. Because the Clinic is a small office, staff primarily with law 10 students who have afternoon classes, it would be difficult to staff two court appearances in two 11 different courts on the same morning. Finally, attorney Natalie J. Havlina, admitted pro hac 12 vice, has offices in Idaho and has no other business scheduled in Sacramento on April 20 aside 13 from this conference. Defendant’s counsel has indicated that she has does not object to this 14 request. 15 2. 16 17 18 19 Names of the Attorneys Making the Appearance and Direct Dial Telephone Numbers: a.
