and Bo Graves, by and through their attorney DAVID M. MICHAEL, ESQ., request that

[REFILED] Unopposed Request For Petitioner/Claimant Sensi Graves To Appear By Telephone at Settlement
Conference; [Proposed] Order - CV 12-1439 MMC & 12-CR-885-CRB-1

30

1 9:30a.m. for a settlement conference as to both the above captioned case and the above related
2 criminal case.
3

The Court is advised that siblings and Petitioners/Stricken Claimants Tyrel Graves,

4 William Graves, and Bo Graves intend to and will personally attend the settlement conference,
5 but the parties request that Petitioner/Stricken Claimant Sensi Graves, be permitted to be
6 available by telephone at the settlement conference.
7

This request is made on the grounds that personal appearance at the hearing would cause

8 substantial hardship and significant expense, as Ms. Graves is currently, and has been for some
9 time, working in North Carolina running a women's kite (water sport) camp with one other
10 instructor and 10 female students. Ms. Graves researched airfare after being informed that her
11 personal attendance might be required at the conference, but the price of tickets on the short
12 notice combined with the days missed (resulting in lost wages and hardship on the single
13 remaining instructor) make it essentially impossible for her to travel to San Francisco without
14 incurring substantial hardship and significant expense. Ms. Graves was contacted by undersigned
15 on today’s date, acknowledges that she must be available on the phone during the pendency of
16 the conference and has indicated in writing that she gives unlimited authority to her siblings,
17 Petitioners/Stricken Claimants Tyrel Graves, William Graves, and Bo Graves, to negotiate a
18 settlement and otherwise settle the above numbered cases.
Plaintiff’s attorney was contacted by email and has no objection to this request.
