______________________________________________________________________________
On October 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation for plaintiff’s counsel and witnesses to
appear at the bench trial scheduled for October 24, 2013, via video through the use of Skype
technology.
The court’s video conferencing equipment as presently configured cannot interface with
Skype. However, arrangements have been made for plaintiff’s counsel to appear for trial via video
from the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, 355 Main Street,
Poughkeepsie, New York.
Accordingly, the court ADOPTS the parties' stipulation (Docket No. 88) insofar as they have
agreed that plaintiff’s counsel may appear via video on October 24, 2013. If plaintiff’s counsel opts
not to appear via video and intends on appearing personally in this district, he should so advise this

1

court as soon as possible. With respect to plaintiff’s prospective witnesses, the court has been
advised that they will be appearing personally in this district.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 17th day of October, 2013.
/s/ Charles S. Miller, Jr.

United States District Court
