(" MERS" ) filed a request to appear telephonically at the case management conference set for December 28, 2010. Based on the request and the file herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that MER's request is DENIED. MER has not established good cause for requested relief. MER contends that traveling to this courthouse from San F r ancisco will place a burden on its counsel. The burden of appearing in court, however, is a nor mal burden of litigation. MER has not shown any specific facts that would warrant relieving it of having its counsel appear in court for the case management conference, which has been continued to February 15, 2011.
