Re: Jomira/Advance - No. C 08-04724 JL Dear Chief Judge Larson: I write as attorney for defendant Time Inc. in the above-referenced action to respectfully request that I be able to participate in the initial case management conferencwheduled for January 2 1,2009 in the above-referenced 4action by telephone rather than personal appearance. I am in-house litigation counsel for Time Inc., am handling this matter myself and am located in New York, New York. Although the matter is obviously important to the litigants, this is an uncomplicated commercial dispute that does not involve a sizable amount of money. Lester O'Shea, counsel for plaintiff, and I are working together and anticipate that we will be able to agree upon a discovery schedule prior to the conference to present to Your Honor for approval. Accordingly, I anticipate that the initial conference will be straightforward and free of any major dispute. For these reasons, I request permission to appear at the conference by telephone. Sincerely,

cc:
