WEST MARINE PRODUCTS, INC.,

Your case is set for a motion hearing on May 1, 2014.

18

Please remember our need to train our next generation of lawyers. So please consider the

19

advisability of assigning the argument to a young lawyer of less than four years experience out

20

of law school in your office. If you send a letter soon stating that such a young lawyer will

21

conduct the argument (for at least one side), then the hearing will definitely go forward;

22

otherwise, the Court may rule in advance based on the papers if it concludes an oral argument

23

would be of limited value in resolving the motion, in which case the hearing would be vacated.

24
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
