Nos. 17 and 19 18. Counsel base the requests on the inconvenience of traveling to the Oakland courthouse. 20 The requests to appear by telephone are DENIED. Pursuant to the undersigned judge’s 21 Standing Order in Civil Cases, telephonic appearances are allowed at initial case management 22 conferences only upon a compelling showing of good cause. The routine inconveniences of travel do 23 not constitute good cause. 24 If the parties believe this action does not warrant the expense associated with their required 25 presence, they may consider reassignment to any magistrate judge of their choice. Profiles can be 26 found at: http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/judges. Magistrate judges in this district carry significant 27 consent cases and are more flexible than the undersigned. Any joint request for reassignment to a 28 magistrate should be filed no later than the Wednesday before the scheduled case management 1 conference. 2 This Order terminates Docket Nos. 17 and 18. 3 IT IS SO ORDERED. 4 5 6 Dated: May 8, 2107 _______________________________________ YVONNE GONZALEZ ROGERS UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE 7 8 9 10 11 Northern District of California United States District Court 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
