ORDER RE: ATTENDANCE AT

not yet scheduled
Jo Saxe Levy

15
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the request to excuse defendant Eric Reiher from personal
16
attendance at the not yet scheduled mediation session before Jo Saxe Levy is GRANTED. The
17
representative is excused from appearing in person at the session but shall appear by
18
videoconference for the duration of the mediation unless or until excused by the mediator in
19
accordance with ADR L.R. 6-10(f).
20
The court also DENIES, without prejudice, plaintiff’s request to excuse its principal from
21
appearing in person at the mediation. Requests to be excused from attending in person a mediation
22
must comply with ADR L.R. 6-10(d), and at the very least, include a reason why requiring an
23
individual to appear would cause him or her ‘extraordinary or otherwise unjustifiable hardship.’ A
24
single line inserted into another attendance request with no justification is not a sufficient request.
25
IT IS SO ORDERED.
