2.

Mr. Anderson, SHFL’s lead trial counsel, is admitted pro hac vice and resides and

works outside of Nevada. The accommodation of a telephonic hearing appearance will save SHFL
travel expenses associated with attendance at a hearing, and enable counsel to meet additional
obligations the day of the hearing.
3.

The scheduled hearing concerns a motion filed by Defendant DigiDeal Corp.’s

counsel to withdraw from its representation of DigiDeal. [Dkt. No. 169.] SHFL responded that
SHFL opposed counsel’s withdrawal to the extent that once counsel withdrew, DigiDeal would have
no representation in the pending appeal before the Federal Circuit. [See Dkt. No. 172.] Should
DigiDeal retain replacement counsel, SHFL does not oppose withdrawal.
4.

Unless instructed otherwise, SHFL’s counsel will call the Court’s chambers at the

date and time ordered above, and may also be reached directly at [phone].
Based on the foregoing, SHFL respectfully requests this Court grant SHFL’s Motion to
Appear Telephonically at the October 7, 2016 hearing.
