ORDER
17-CV-9390 (ALC)(KNF)

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that a telephone conference shall be held in the above-captioned
action on April 22, 2020, at 4:30 p.m. Counsel are directed to call [phone] and, thereafter,
enter access code 4862532.
Additionally, conference participants are directed as follows:
1.

Use a landline whenever possible.

2.

Use a handset rather than a speaker phone.

3.

Identify yourself each time you speak.

4.

Be mindful that, unlike in a courtroom setting, interrupting can render both speakers
unintelligible.

5.

Mute when not speaking to eliminate background noise, e.g., dog barking, kids playing,
sirens, papers shuffling, emails pinging, drinking, breathing. It all comes through. This
will also prevent interruptions.

6.

Avoid voice-activated systems that don’t allow speaker to know when someone else is
trying to speak and they cut off the beginning of words.

7.

Spell proper names.

8.

Have judge confirm reporter is on the line.

9.

If someone hears beeps or musical chimes, that means someone has either come in or left

the conference. Please be aware that the judge may need to clarify that the reporter has
not lost the line. (This has happened before, and the reporter had to dial back in and tell
the judge the last thing that the court reporter transcribed.)
SO ORDERED:
