DEFENDANT TRANS UNION LLC'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAR REMOTELY AT HEARING
Cam Ferenbach, United States Magistrate Judge.
COMES NOW, Defendant Trans Union LLC (“Trans Union”), by and through its counsel of record, and hereby submits this Motion for Leave to Appear Remotely at the Hearing (“the Hearing”), and in support thereof, respectfully states as follows:
1. On January 19, 2023, Plaintiff filed a Motion requesting issuance and service of summons on the amended complaint to all defendants pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 4(C)(3) (DKT. NO. 114).
2. The Court set an in-person Hearing regarding Plaintiff's Motion for Wednesday, April 26, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) in LV Courtroom 6B. (Dkt. No. 134). In an effort to save time and costs, and out of an abundance of caution, Trans Union respectfully requests it be permitted to appear at the Hearing via video conference or telephone.
3. Trans Union's counsel, Jibril Greene, is located in Plano, Texas. Travel to Nevada for the Hearing will generate substantial fees and costs. In an attempt to keep attorneys' fees at a minimum, Trans Union respectfully requests that its counsel be permitted to appear remotely via videoconference or telephone at the Hearing. Trans Union respectfully believes that it can fulfill its duties and attend the Hearing via videoconference or telephone.
4. No party will not be prejudiced if counsel for Trans Union is permitted to appear remotely at the Hearing. Moreover, the Court recently issued an Order granting Plaintiff Blanton Banks leave to appear remotely at the Hearing. Trans Union assures this Court that its counsel will meaningfully participate in the Hearing and will not hamper the efficient running of the Hearing.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests this Honorable Court enter an order granting Defendant Trans Union LLC permission to appear via videoconference or telephonically at the Hearing.
