By letter dated July 30, 2014, Defendant requested that he be excused from personally

attending the August 14, 2014, settlement conference. The Court finds that Defendant has not

16

shown good cause for its request. Hardship due to expenditures of travel costs and time is not a

17

sufficient reason to allow a telephonic appearance. Defendant’s request is DENIED.
