3.

All filings of documents relating to motions referred to Magistrate Judge Ryu shall

list the civil case number and the district court judge’s initials followed by the designation “(DMR).”
4.

The court has found that it is often efficient and beneficial for the parties if counsel

15

appear in person at hearings. For this reason, the court expects counsel to appear in person, unless

16

they make a prior application showing good cause as to why the court should permit a telephonic

17

appearance. Permission for a party to attend by telephone may be granted, in the court's discretion,

18

upon written request made at least two weeks in advance of the hearing, if the court determines that

19

good cause exists to excuse personal attendance, and that personal attendance is not needed in order

20

to have an effective hearing. The facts establishing good cause must be set forth in the request.
