Case No. 2:14-cv-02030-APG-PAL
ORDER

15

This matter is before the Court on Defendant Wyndham Vacation Ownership’s Motion for

16

Exception to Attendance Requirements for Early Neutral Evaluation Session (#15), filed on

17

January 15, 2015.

18

The Defendant requests permission to excuse its insurance representative from the ENE

19

session due to the high deductible insurance policy covering this matter. Given this policy,

20

Defendant has shown good cause to excuse the insurance representative. Defendant also requests

21

that Peter Wendzel be excused from personal attendance at the ENE session for the sake of

22

economy and convenience. This is insufficient, especially in light of Mr. Wendzel’s “binding

23

authority to settle the matter.” Accordingly,

2

Requirements for Early Neutral Evaluation Session (#15) is granted in part and denied in part.

3

The Defendant’s insurance representative is excused from personal attendance. Peter Wendzel is

4

not excused from personal attendance.
