Ryan Lee, counsel for Plaintiff, DARLENE MILLS, respectfully requests the Court allow his telephonic appearance at the Status (Pretrial) Conference scheduled for November 23, 2009 at 4:00 P.M. Counsel's office is located in Los Angeles, California and appearing by telephone will avoid the significant time and resources needed to secure travel and appearance for the conference. Further, as the statues for which Plaintiff seeks relief under (FDCPA and RFDCPA) contain a "fee-shifting" provision, allowing Plaintiff to avoid the significant costs and expenses of securing travel from Los Angeles, CA to San Francisco, CA will allow the parties to continue working towards a mutual resolution of the case without a significant increase in the Plaintiff's attorneys' fees and costs and thus making informal resolution more likely.
