Re:

Lane Bauldry v. Town of Danville, eta!.
USDC, Northern District, Case No. C12-3943 CRB

Dear Magistrate Judge Spero:
I represent defendants Thomas Henderson and Contra Costa County in the above
referenced action and request that Mr. Henderson be excused from attending the October 27,
2015 settlement conference. Mr. Henderson no longer works for the County and it would be a
burden on him due to child care duties to have to attend the settlement conference. The Court
previously excused Mr. Henderson from attending the May 27, 2015 settlement conference
subject to Mr. Henderson being available via telephone. See ECF No. 187.
Mr. Henderson's absence will not impact the possibility of settlement. Scott Selby,
Assistant Risk Manager, and I will be present at the mediation with authority to resolve the
claims against Mr. Henderson. Additionally, Mr. Henderson will be available via telephone.
Matthew Haley, counsel for PlaintiffBauldry, does not object to Mr. Henderson's absence.
Sincerely,

ero
