REQUEST TO APPEAR
TELEPHONICALLY FOR THE

TO THE HONORABLE COURT AND TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL OF

19

RECORD:

20
21

Proposed-Intervenor ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND (“EDF”) respectfully requests

22

an Order allowing EDF’s counsel of record, Susannah L. Weaver, to telephonically appear for the

23

initial case management conference, set for October 2, 2018 at 2:00 p.m.

24

This request is timely made pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-10(a). Good cause exists to

25

grant EDF’s request. EDF has one lead counsel, who is located in Washington, D.C. It would be

26

burdensome and expensive for her to personally appear for the initial case management conference,

27

which will likely be of short duration. EDF’s lead counsel believes that her telephonic appearance

28

will not hinder the initial case management conference in any way. State Plaintiffs do not oppose

this request. Defendant EPA takes no position on this request.
Accordingly, EDF respectfully asks the Court to grant this request, and submit the

[Proposed] Order concurrently lodged herewith.
