JOINT REQUEST TO PARTICIPATE BY TELEPHONE OR CANCEL THE INTERIM
CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE SET FOR SEPTEMBER 16, 2011

12

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 16-10(c) and Part V of the Scheduling Notes for Judge Edward J.

13

Davila, lead counsel for the parties, Eric H. Chadwick and Joseph J. Zito, hereby request permission

14
15
16
17

to appear by telephone at the Case Management Conference set for this matter on September 16,
2011 or to cancel the conference.
The Court scheduled next week’s conference to update the Court regarding the viability of

18

ADR options and possible resolution of the case. As detailed in the Supplemental Joint Case

19

Management Conference Statement that will be filed on September 9, 2011, the parties’ recent

20

settlement efforts have proven unfruitful and ADR is viewed by Defendants as unlikely in the near

21

term. Thus, it is believed that the conference is unnecessary and should be adjourned. Given this,

22
23
24
25

the fact that lead counsel for Defendants resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota and has a desire to
conserve client resources by avoiding the travel expenses that would be incurred for an in-person
appearance, and given the fact that lead counsel for Plaintiffs will be in Beijing China, on the 16th,

26

the undersigned respectfully requests permission of the Court to adjourn the conference or to allow

27
28

participation by telephone at the September 16, 2011 Case Management Conference.
