IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the request to excuse the Facet Retiree Medical Plan Plan
Administrator from appearing in person at the October 23, 2013 mediation before Bradford Huss is
DENIED. The court finds that defendant has not made adequate showing that requiring him to
attend the ADR session in person would cause him ‘extraordinary or otherwise unjustifiable
hardship’ as set forth in ADR L.R. 5-10(d) and 6-10(d). Accordingly, the request is denied and the
Plan Administrator shall attend the session in person.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
