TO THE COURT, ALL PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD:
The initial pretrial conference required under Fed. R. Civ. P. 16 and LR 16.2 is scheduled
for April 24, 2017, at 1:30 p.m., before Hon. William B. Shubb, Court Room #5 of Robert T.
Matsui United States Courthouse - 501 I Street Sacramento, CA 95814.
Both Plaintiffs’ counsel (Matthew S. Da Vega of DA VEGA FISHER MECHTENBERG
LLP) and Defendant’s Counsel (Eric De Wames of MESSNER REEVES, LLP), are satisfied to
have the court issue a Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order based on their Joint Status Report,
instead of appearing at the Case Management Conference.
However, if Plaintiffs’ counsel and Defendant’s Counsel must appear, they request that
they be allowed to appear at the Case Management Conference by telephone.
Plaintiff’s counsel is located in Santa Barbara, CA and will be in a previously scheduled
mediation on April 24, 2017. Defendant’s counsel are located in Los Angeles, CA and Denver,
Colorado. Appearance in person in Sacramento is unnecessarily costly and time consuming for
all parties.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs and Defendant respectfully request leave of this Court for the
parties to appear by telephone for the Case Management Conference, if one is held.
Dated: April 11, 2017

Respectfully submitted,
