Consent MOTION for Order Request for Telephonic Status Conference by PUBLIC.RESOURCE.ORG, INC. (Becker, Matthew)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING AND

NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION
ASSOCIATION, INC.; and

ENGINEERS,

Case No. 1:13-cv-01215-TSC-DAR
CONSENT REQUEST FOR TELEPHONIC
STATUS CONFERENCE

Filed:

August 6, 2013

Plaintiffs/Counter-Defendants,
v.
PUBLIC.RESOURCE.ORG, INC.,
Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff.
Defendant-Counterclaimant Public.Resource.Org respectfully requests that the status
conference set by the Court to occur at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20, 2015 be held
telephonically. As a one-person California non-profit with limited resources and pro bono
representation, Public Resource has incurred great expense for repeated travel across the country
and lodging in the District of Columbia, including travel for previously scheduled conferences.
Public Resource understands the Court’s need to manage its calendar, and the Court’s
preference for in-person conferences. In this case, however, Public Resource believes a
telephonic conference is appropriate, because a telephonic status conference or appearance
would not impair discussion of any outstanding issues.
Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 7(m), Public Resource has conferred with Plaintiffs’ counsel
Kelly Klaus, Blake Cunningham, and Jordana Rubel, who stated that Plaintiffs do not oppose
Public Resource’s request that the status conference be held telephonically.
