ORDER DIRECTING ATTORNEY ROBERT DUNN TO INFORM DEFENDANT JOEL CURRY OF REQUIRED PERSONAL ATTENDANCE AT HEARING
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
In a prior text order dated May 3, 2024, the Court ordered attorney Robert Dunn and Defendant Joel Curry (among others) to personally appear for a hearing before the Court on May 20, 2024, at 9:30 a.m.
Mr. Dunn should already have informed Mr. Curry of the order requiring him to personally appear. However, in an abundance of caution, the Court hereby ORDERS Mr. Dunn to inform Mr. Curry in writing and orally of his (Curry's) obligation to appear in person. Mr. Dunn shall inform Mr. Curry of that obligation (1) by email to Mr. Curry's last known email address, if Mr. Dunn has such an address; (2) by text message to Mr. Curry's last known cellular telephone number, if Mr. Dunn has such a number; (3) by letter to Mr. Curry's last known mailing address; and (4) by telephone call to Mr. Curry's last known telephone number (Mr. Dunn shall leave a voice message if Mr. Curry does not answer). Mr. Dunn shall inform Curry via these methods even if he has already given notice to Curry of Curry's required attendance at the hearing.
The Court is directing notification in so many ways (and requiring Mr. Dunn to give notice in each and every way set forth above) because the hearing on May 20th addresses a time-sensitive matter, and Mr. Curry's personal attendance is essential in order to resolve the matter. Moreover, the Court will be unavailable to resolve the matter for quite some time after May 20. It is thus absolutely essential that Mr. Curry receive notice of the hearing from Mr. Dunn in all of the ways required above and that Mr. Curry personally attend the hearing.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon the parties and/or counsel of record on May 13, 2024, by electronic means and/or ordinary mail.
