UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
12-cv-80597-KAM

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION,
Plaintiff,
v.
STERLING PRECIOUS METALS, LLC, a
Florida Limited Liability Corporation,
KERRY MARSHALL,
MATTHEW MEYER, and
FRANCIS RYAN ZOFAY,
Defendants.

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION'S
REQUEST TO APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY AT THE MAY 6, 2013 HEARING
This matter is before the court upon Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission's
(“FTC”) Motion to appear telephonically at the May 6, 2013 hearing. This court finds as
follows:
The FTC requests that the Court permit it to appear telephonically at the March
hearing scheduled for May 6, 2013, on its Opposition to Nonparty Scott Properties,
LLC’s Motion to Quash Subpoena or Alternatively, Motion for Protective Order as to
Request Numbers 1, 2, 4, and 6. The Court finds that appearing telephonically would
eliminate the FTC’s incursion of travel expenses necessary to send its attorney(s) from

1

Atlanta, Georgia to attend a hearing on the subject motion in West Palm Beach, Florida
and would not prejudice any party in this matter.
Now therefore IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the FTC's
Motion Requesting Permission to Appear at the May 6, 2013 Hearing Telephonically is
HEREBY GRANTED. Plaintiff's counsel shall contact Mr. Ken Zuniga, Courtroom
Deputy, at [phone] at least 24 hours before the hearing to make appropriate arrangements.
30th
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at West Palm Beach, Florida this ____ day
of April 2013.
