On May 5, 2022, Defendants F. Sedighi, J. Butteris, and M. Glynn filed an “Ex Parte

18

Application to Continue the Case Management Conference,” in which they asked the

19

Court to continue the Zoom Case Management Conference currently set for May 9,

20

2022, to June 15, 2022. (See ECF No. 16 at 1.) In support, Defendants’ counsel explains

21

that due to a communication error, her office did not contact Richard J. Donovan to

22

arrange Plaintiff’s appearance at the Case Management Conference until May 2, 2022,

23

at which point the prison was not able to accommodate the conference with only one

24

week’s notice. (ECF No. 16-1 at 2.) Counsel has reserved a video conference date of

25

June 15, 2022, at 9:30 a.m. with the Litigation Coordinator at R.J. Donovan. (Id.)

26

For good cause shown, the Court GRANTS the ex parte application as follows:

27

1.

28

In accordance with Civil Local Rule 16.1(e), an Early Neutral Evaluation

Conference will not be set in this case. A video Case Management Conference (“CMC”)
1
21cv792-TWR (MSB)

1

will be held on June 15, 2022, at 9:30 a.m., before Magistrate Judge Michael S. Berg and

2

hosted through the Court’s ZoomGov account. The parties should be prepared to

3

discuss scheduling, discovery, and whether they would benefit from an early settlement

4

conference in this matter.

5

2.

Counsel for Defendant shall arrange Plaintiff’s video appearance with the

6

institution housing Plaintiff. Prior to the start of the CMC, the Court will e-mail each

7

CMC participant an invitation to join a Zoom video conference. No later than

8

May 15, 2022, Defendant’s counsel must send an e-mail to the Court at

9

[e-mail] containing the following:

10

a.

The name of each participant;

11

b.

An e-mail address for each participant to receive the Zoom video

12

conference invitation; and

13

c.

A telephone number where each participant may be reached so that

14

if technical difficulties arise, the Court will be able to proceed telephonically instead of

15

by video conference.

16
17

IT IS SO ORDERED.
