SUNTRUST MORTGAGE, INC.,

Re: Dkt. Nos. 65, 66

Defendant.

United States District Court

The Court has reviewed the parties’ joint case management conference (“CMC”)

13

statement. (Dkt. No. 65.) The Court generally requires counsel to appear in person at all

14

conferences absent a showing of good cause, which does not include routine inconveniences of

15

travel. Thus, defendant’s motion for a telephonic appearance at the January 25, 2016 CMC (Dkt.

16

No. 66) is DENIED. However, the Court will vacate the CMC if, by January 21, 2016, the parties

17

file either: (1) a stipulation consenting to the magistrate judge of their choice for all purposes; or

18

(2) a stipulation to the following proposed pre-trial schedule, in which case a pre-trial scheduling

19

order shall issue:
