EDWARD M. CHEN, United States District Judge

In consideration of Plaintiffs' Request for Accommodations (Dkt. No. 3) the Court hereby GRANTS Plaintiffs' requests as modified below:

1. Hearings shall be conducted either via Zoom teleconference or in a hybrid in-person and Zoom teleconference format.

2. Plaintiffs shall be allowed to bring a delegation of Plaintiffs to hearings. However, no individual Plaintiffs may represent other individual Plaintiffs.

3. Plaintiffs shall be permitted to use the help of a volunteer who is not a Plaintiff to assist them in proceedings, e.g., in accessing Zoom hearings via telephone. The volunteer may not represent Plaintiffs in a manner that constitutes the unauthorized practice of law and may not speak without the Court's permission.

4. Paper copies of filings shall be mailed to the Plaintiffs' addresses on file, but Plaintiffs must endeavor to receive pleadings digitally.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
