Plaintiff Anthony Sarkis filed an administrative motion requesting permission for him (a) to attend the December 19, 2008 hearing by telephone and (b) to remain in email communication with his counsel over the course of the hearing. See Docket No. 42 (Dec. 12, 2008). The specially appearing defendants did not respond to a request to stipulate to Sarkis' participation in the hearing, but they have not filed an opposition to the request. The court grants the relief requested. In so doing, the court notes that Sarkis suggested he might be able to testify telephonically if necessary. Mot. at 5:2-4. Sarkis's motion does not, however, request to be permitted to testify over the phone. As the issue is not raised by Sarkis's motion, the court does not reach it.
