___________________________________/

On June 24, 2013, Plaintiff Joe Hand Promotions, Inc. filed an ex parte application to
18
continue the date of the settlement conference in this matter, currently scheduled for June 28, 2013,
19
on the grounds that Plaintiff’s representative is unable to appear at the settlement conference in
20
person. [Docket No. 47.] In a letter attached to the application, Plaintiff’s representative indicated
21
that he is available to participate in the settlement conference by telephone.
22
Judge Wilken ordered the settlement conference in this matter to take place by no later than
23
June 28, 2013, [Docket No. 45], and Plaintiff has been on notice of the date of the settlement
24
conference since May 2, 2013. In the court’s May 2, 2013 Notice of Settlement Conference and
25
Settlement Conference Order, the court scheduled the settlement conference for June 28, 2013 and
26
set out a procedure by which either party could notify the court of its unavailability on that date and
27
request an alternative date. [Docket No. 46.] Plaintiff did not notify the court of its unavailability
28
on June 28, 2013 within the allotted timeframe. In addition, the court’s May 2, 2013 order requires
1
personal attendance by the parties. The court only grants permission to appear by telephone upon
2
submission of a timely written request that demonstrates extraordinary hardship. The court notes
3
that Plaintiff has been previously admonished for repeated failures to follow court directives, which
4
resulted in the court’s dismissal of the case in December 2012. [Docket No. 39.]
5
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s request to continue the settlement conference is DENIED. The
6
parties and counsel are ordered to appear in person on June 28, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. in accordance
7
with the court’s May 2, 2013 order.
