Re:

Fred Hampton et al. v. City of Emeryville
US District Court (Northern District), Case No.: 4:13-cv-03094-DMR

Dear Judge Ryu:
On August 20, 2014 at 1:30 p.m., this matter is currently-scheduled for a Case
Management Conference (see Docket No. 43). Pursuant to the Court’s Standing Order (Docket
Nos. 3 and 52, ¶ 8), I respectfully request allowance to appear at the Conference in lieu of lead trial
counsel Dale L. Allen, Jr. Mr. Allen will be attending an expert trial preservation deposition in
Stockton, California. (Allgoewer v. City of Tracy, et al., San Joaquin County Case Number
39-2008-00187830-CU-CR-STK). The Allgoewer trial begins on November 10, 2014.
I am co-trial counsel in this matter, and am sufficiently prepared to address all of the
matters referred to in the Northern District of California’s standing order on Joint Case
Management Statements. I have full authority to enter stipulations and make admissions.
I also request permission to appear telephonically, if necessary. I will be taking a
deposition at 10:00 a.m. on August 20, 2014 in Modesto, CA. It is plaintiff’s deposition in the
matter of Scott Ussery v. County of Stanislaus, Stanislaus County Case Number 662273. I will do
my best to get back in time to attend the Conference in person.
