IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the request for defendant Scitor Corporation's insruer representative, Jennifer Haw, to be excused from personally attending the August 20, 2010 mediation session before Baldwin Lee is DENIED. The court finds that Scitor Corporation has not demonstrated that Ms. Haw's personal attendance at the mediation would "impose an extraordinary or otherwise unjustifiable hardship" in accordance with ADR L.R. 6-10(d). Accordingly, the court DENIES the request to be relieved from compliance with the ADR Local Rules and ORDERS the representative to appear at the mediation in person. IT IS SO ORDERED.
