On September 12, 2013 and September 16, 2013, Munich Re Underwriting Limited
16

("Munich") and Glacier Bay, Inc. ("Glacier Bay") lodged letters with the Court, requesting that their
17

respective insurance representatives be permitted to attend the settlement conference scheduled in
18

the above-captioned matter by telephone. This Court's standing order specifies that parties must
19

attend a settlement conference in person absent a showing of extraordinary hardship. While the
20

standard has not been met in this instance, the Court is willing to permit the insurance
21

representatives to appear by telephone at the October 4, 2013 settlement conference because of the
22

practical considerations raised in the letters.
