Plaintiff,

Case No.: 13-CV-770 YGR
ORDER CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT
CONFERENCE AND DENYING TELEPHONIC
APPEARANCE

v.
TRANS UNION LLC, EQUIFAX INFORMATION
SERVICES, LLC, EXPERIAN INFORMATION
SOLUTIONS, INC., AND GREEN TREE
SERVICING, LLC,
Defendants.

16

In light of the filing of the Motion to Dismiss First Amended Complaint by Green Tree
17

Servicing, LLC, the case management conference in this matter scheduled for September 16, 2013,
18

is CONTINUED to November 18, 2013, at 2:00 p.m.
19

Plaintiffs Richard A. Papapietro, Jr., and Frances L. Papapietro have filed request to appear
20

telephonically at the first case management conference scheduled in this case, as have Defendants
21

Equifax Information Services, LLC, and Experian Information Solutions, Inc. (Dkt. Nos. 48, 52,
22

53.) All counsel base their requests on the inconvenience of traveling to the Oakland courthouse
23

from Southern California.
24

The requests to appear by telephone are DENIED as moot in light of the continuance of the
25

case management conference. Further, the Court’s Standing Order in Civil Cases, paragraph 6,
26

specifically provides that telephonic appearances are allowed at initial case management
27

conferences only upon a compelling showing of good cause. The routine inconveniences of travel
28

1
2

do not constitute good cause.
If the parties believe this action does not warrant the expense associated with their required

3

presence, they may consider reassignment to a magistrate judge of their choice. Profiles can be

4

found at: http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/judges. Any joint request for reassignment to a magistrate

5

should be filed no later than five (5) days before the scheduled case management conference.

6

This Order terminates Docket Nos. 48, 52 and 53.

7

IT IS SO ORDERED.
