MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Before the court is Plaintiff’s “Motion for Leave to Appear at EMC Via Videoconference
or, Alternatively, Transfer the Case to the Unofficial Southern District.” (ECF No. 13).
In response to the Plaintiff’s request, the court has reached out to the District of Nevada
Clerk’s Office in Las Vegas and has confirmed logistically the court is able to arrange for Plaintiff
to appear by video in Las Vegas and connect with Reno for the mediation session. Furthermore, the
video conference equipment is available on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 at 8:30 a.m. for the current
scheduled EMC (ECF No. 7).
Therefore, Plaintiff’s motion (ECF No. 13) is GRANTED in part. Plaintiff’s alternative
request to transfer the case to the unofficial southern district is moot in view of the court’s ability
to coordinate Plaintiff’s video appearance for the upcoming EMC.
Plaintiff is directed to appear in person for the mediation conference; however, the Plaintiff
will participate in the mediation conference through video conferencing. The mediation conference
will take place on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 to commence at 8:30 a.m. in Room #3054 in the
Lloyd D. George United States Courthouse, 333 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Attorney General’s Office is relieved of making any arrangements for Plaintiff to appear
by video conference through the prison facility.
