Case No. 2:17-cv-00227-APG-GWF
ORDER
(Docket No. 22)
16
Pending before the Court is the motion that Defendant Jon Howard not appear in person for the
17
upcoming early neutral evaluation. Docket No. 22. Plaintiff filed a response in opposition, and
18
Defendants filed a reply. Docket No. 25, 26. Because Defendant has failed to persuade the Court that
19
Mr. Howard’s attendance will not be beneficial, the motion is DENIED.
20
To ensure that the parties participate in the early neutral evaluation in accordance with the
21
decorum and civility required by the Court, see, e.g., Local Rule 1-1(c), the Court feels compelled to
22
admonish Plaintiff’s counsel that personal attacks and over-the-top rhetoric are not helpful or
23
appropriate. Such conduct will not be tolerated at the early neutral evaluation.
24
IT IS SO ORDERED.
