On April 7, 2022, Plaintiff filed an Ex Parte Motion to Allow Plaintiff’s Attendance

20

Virtually Via Zoom or Telephone at Mandatory Settlement Conference (“Ex Parte

21

Application”). (Doc. No. 169.) On April 8, 2022, Defendants filed a Notice of Non-

22

Opposition to Plaintiff’s Ex Parte Application. (Doc. No. 171.) Plaintiff moves the Court

23

to appear either telephonically or via videoconference for the Mandatory Settlement

24

Conference (“MSC”) in this matter. Given Plaintiff’s ongoing incarceration and

25

Defendants’ non-opposition to Plaintiff’s Ex Parte Application, the Court finds good cause

26

exists to permit Plaintiff to appear remotely for the forthcoming MSC in this matter.

27

Plaintiff, his attorney, and counsel for Defendants shall make all efforts to ensure Plaintiff

28

timely appears for the MSC either via telephone or by Zoom. Thus, the Court GRANTS

advance notice of his instant filing to Chambers in violation of this Court’s Civil Chambers
