Defendant Yurij Debevc ("Defendant") acting pro se, hereby respectfully requests to appear telephonically at the August 5, 2009 hearing on parties' cross motions for summary judgment. Defendant currently resides in Charleston, South Carolina. Defendant has a scheduled Hearing with an IRS Appeals Officer, in Columbia, South Carolina at 1:00 pm on August 4, 2009, a hearing related to litigation in U.S. District Court in South Carolina in Debevc v. United States of America, Case No, 2:08-cv-02755-DCN-RSC. Moreover, Defendant is experiencing severe financial hardship and the cost of travel to San Francisco, CA from Charleston, SC would strain Defendant's meager financial resources beyond a critical point. For the foregoing reasons, Defendant respectfully requests that the Court grant him the ability to attend the August 5, 2009 hearing telephonically. Defendant may be contacted at the following telephone number: [phone]. Please also take notice that Defendant has requested the assistance of Edward O.C. Ord, Esq. to file this letter request to insure that this request would reach the Court in a timely manner. Defendant is unfamiliar with the electronic filing system and local filing rules.

Dated: July 31, 2009

Respectfully Submitted,
