Defendant(s).

Pending before the Court is Defendants’ unopposed request to excuse personal attendance

18 of counsel at settlement conferences. Docket No. 96. On June 18, 2019, the Court issued an order
19 setting the settlement conferences in this case. Docket No. 74. That order provides: “any request
20 for an exception to the [] personal attendance requirements must be filed and served on all
21 parties within seven (7) days of the issuance of this order. Such a request will be strictly
22 scrutinized for a showing of compelling justification.” Docket No. 74 at 2 (emphasis in
23 original).

Defendants’ request is untimely, and contains no justification for the untimely

24 submission. Accordingly, the request is DENIED.
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
