Case No.: 3:09-cv-05711 REQUEST FOR TELEPHONIC APPEARANCE AT CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE Date: March 12, 2010 Time: 2:30 p.m. Place: Ctrm. 10, 19th Floor

Nicholas J. Bontrager, counsel for Plaintiff, FLOYD JONES, respectfully requests this Honorable Court allow his telephonic appearance for Case Management Conference pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) currently scheduled for March 12, 2010 at 2:20 pm. 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 present hearing. 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.
