Before the court are two requests for telephonic appearance at the mediation scheduled for

17

June 30, 2011, before mediator Val Hornstein. Defendants OneWest Bank, FSB, and Mortgage

18

Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., and defendant Aztec Foreclosure Corporation have submitted

19

requests for their representatives to be excused from personal attendance at the mediation.

20

The court finds that neither request has made an adequate showing that requiring the

21

defendant representatives to attend the session in person would cause them “unnecessary or

22

otherwise unjustifiable hardship” as required by ADR L.R. 6-10(d). Accordingly, both requests are
