JOHN M. MCHUGH, ET AL.,

Re: Dkt. No. 32

Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

On May 21, 2015, defendants Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs and

13

Gregory Vadnais (the “moving defendants”) filed a motion to dismiss. (Dkt. No. 23.) Thereafter,

14

the case was reassigned to the undersigned. (Dkt. No. 27.) The moving defendants re-noticed the

15

motion to dismiss for Thursday, June 25, 2015 at 9 a.m. (Dkt. No. 28.) They then filed the instant

16

motion to appear by telephone at that hearing. (Dkt. No. 32.)

17

The Court hereby DENIES the motion for telephonic appearance as premature. The moving

18

defendants improperly re-noticed the motion. Thus, the hearing set for June 25, 2015 is

19

VACATED. The Court holds its civil law and motion calendar on Tuesdays at 2 p.m. The moving

20

defendants shall re-notice the motion accordingly. The Court notes that if argument is required,

21

telephonic appearances are rarely granted. Moreover, a party may choose to affirmatively submit

22

on the papers.

23

This Order terminates Docket Number 32.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
