JURY DEMAND
Case No. 2:13-cv-00022
Judge Kevin H. Sharp

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAR BY TELEPHONE
AT CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE
Defendant/Counterclaim Plaintiff DACCO, Incorporated (“Defendant”), by and through
undersigned counsel, respectfully moves the Court for an Order granting counsel for Defendant
Andrea, M. Kimball (pro hac vice motion pending), leave to attend the Initial Case Management
Conference, currently scheduled for 10:00 a.m., November 4, 2013 in Cookeville, Tennessee, by
telephone. In support of this Motion, Defendant further states:
1.

This Court set the Initial Case Management Conference for 10:00 a.m., November

4, 2013 in Cookeville, Tennessee (Doc. 9).
2.

Counsel for Defendant, Andrea Kimball, offices in Kansas City, Missouri and has

shared custody of her children. The childrens’ other parent is out of town for six weeks for
work, so Ms. Kimball has the children full time during that week, making travel difficult. Judge
Sharp’s Practice and Procedure Manual, Section II.C., states “the Judges, upon request, generally
will attempt to accommodate out-of-town counsel or other circumstances unique to the case by
permitting joint telephone conferences with the court….”
3.

Counsel for Plaintiff consents to this request, and will not be opposing this motion

for Ms. Kimball to attend the Initial Case Management Conference by telephone.
