Re: Olsen v. City of Oakland, et al., Case No. C12-06333 SI (LB)
Subject: Request to appear via telephone and/or video at settlement conference
Date/Time of Settlement Conference: March 18, 2014, 9:30 a.m.
Dear Judge Beeler:
I am one of the attorneys representing the plaintiff, Scott Olsen, in the above-referenced
action.
I am writing to request permission from the Court to attend the settlement conference in
this matter set for March 18, 2014, at 9:30 a.m. via videoconferencing or by telephone
conference call due to the fact that I am presently on the East Coast.
Although my co-counsels, James Chanin and Rachel Lederman, will be appearing in
person at the settlement conference along with Mr. Olsen, I would like to have the opportunity to
be available to speak to issues relating to Mr. Olsen’s damages and/or to questions regarding
liability, if necessary, during the settlement conference.
I will be available at a landline phone [phone] throughout the duration of the
settlement conference and can also appear via videoconferencing through the Court Call service.
I am also available to call in to the Court at a designated phone number.
