Case No. 2:13-cv-01268-GMN-CWH

This matter is before the Court on the Defendant’s Request for an Exception to the Personal

14 Attendance Requirement at the Settlement Conference (#37), filed on April 15, 2014. On March 21,
15 2014, the Court entered an order scheduling a settlement conference for 9:00 a.m. on April 29, 2014.
16 See Order #32. In doing so, the Court granted the parties leave to submit a request for an exception
17 to the attendance requirements at least fourteen (14) days prior to the settlement conference.
18 Defendant requests an exception to personal attendance for Clayton Brumett, representative for
19 Defendant. No explanation was provided as to why the exception is necessary. After review, the
20 Court finds that Clayton Brumett has not demonstrated good cause for the requested relief and his
21 personal attendance at the settlement conference is required.
22

Based on the foregoing and good cause appearing therefore,

23

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s Request for an Exception to the Personal

24 Attendance Requirement at the Settlement Conference (#37) is denied.
25

DATED this 16th day of April, 2014.
