Case No. 15-cv-01946-JSW
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR
LEAVE TO APPEAR BY TELEPHONE
AT CASE MANAGEMENT
CONFERENCE AND INSTRUCTIONS
TO COUNSEL
Re: Dkt. No. 30

The Court DENIES the request of Defendant J. Copello International Corp. for leave to

14

appear telephonically at the January 8, 2016 case management conference. All parties must

15

appear in person through lead counsel with authority to enter into stipulations, to make

16

admissions, and to agree to further scheduling dates. The Court finds that Defendant has not

17

shown good cause to be excused from this requirement. Additionally, the Court admonishes

18

Defendant for e-filing this request as an additional “case management statement,” rather than as a

19

stipulation and proposed order or as a motion under this Court’s rules. Counsel is reminded that

20

parties requesting administrative or procedural relief from the Court must submit a signed

21

stipulation and proposed order, or, if stipulation is not possible, a Motion for Administrative

22

Relief, as contemplated by Civil Local Rule 7-11. Civil Standing Orders, ¶ 4.

23

The joint case management statement does not set forth Defendant’s position regarding

24

settlement and ADR. Counsel should familiarize themselves with this Court’s ADR Local Rules

25

and, at the case management conference, the parties shall be prepared to discuss “[p]rospects for

26

settlement, ADR efforts to date, and a specific ADR plan for the case, including compliance with

27

ADR L.R. 3-5 and a description of key discovery or motions necessary to position the parties to

28

negotiate a resolution.” Standing Order for All Judges of the Northern District of California, ¶ 12.
