HERTZ CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff Dan Martin, who is also a Counter-Defendant in this case, filed a request to appear
16

by telephone, instead of in person, at the January 9, 2013 settlement conference. The request was
17

filed on January 8, 2013. By way of explanation, Martin states only that he lives in Washington,
18

DC.
19

Martin's request is not timely and is in violation of the provision of Judge Westmore's
20

standing order requiring personal attendance at settlement conferences. Because the settlement
21

conference is scheduled for tomorrow, the request is granted only to avoid continuing the settlement
22

conference. Martin must be available by telephone for the entire duration of the settlement
23

conference.
24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
