19 Civ. 11883 (GBD)
01-04-2021
JINXIONG CHEN et al., Plaintiffs, v. DUN HUANG CORP. et al, Defendants.
ORDER
GEORGE B. DANIELS, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The oral argument scheduled for January 6, 2021 at 10:30 a.m. is rescheduled to 10:00 a.m., and shall occur as a videoconference using the Skype platform.
To optimize the quality of the video feed, only the Court, Plaintiffs' counsel, and
Defendants' counsel will appear by video for the proceeding; all others will participate by telephone. Due to the limited capacity of the Skype system, only one counsel per party may participate. Co-counsel, members of the press, and the public may access the audio feed of the conference by calling (917) 933-2166 and entering the code ID 759603596.
To optimize use of the Court's video conferencing technology, all participants in the call must:
1. Use a browser other than Microsoft Explorer to access Skype for Business;
2. Position the participant's device as close to the WiFi router as is feasible;
3. Ensure any others in the participant's household are not using WiFi during the period of the call;
4. Unless the participant is using a mobile telephone to access Skype for Business, connect to audio by having the system call the participant;
If there is ambient noise, the participant must mute his or her device when not speaking.
Further, all participants must identify themselves every time they speak, spell any proper names for the court reporter, and take care not to interrupt or speak over one another. Finally, all of those accessing the conference - whether in listen-only mode or otherwise - are reminded that recording or rebroadcasting of the proceeding is prohibited by law.
To the extent that there are any documents relevant to the proceeding, counsel should submit them to the Court (by email or on ECF, as appropriate) at least 24 hours prior to the proceeding.
SO ORDERED.
