STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING MOTION REQUESTING LEAVE TO APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY ON PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS
DANIEL J. ALBREGTS, MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiffs MARY JANE BEAUREGARD, and JOHN HUGH SMITH by and through their counsel of record, and Defendants CLAYTON SAMPSON and ELISHA SAMPSON submit the following stipulation and agreement regarding Defendants' Motion Requesting Leave to Appear Telephonically on Plaintiffs' Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Costs [ECF No. 76] as follows:
1. Plaintiffs' Motion for Attorney's Fees and Costs [ECF No. 65] is currently set for hearing before Magistrate Judge Albregts on December 19, 2022 at 2:30 p.m. in Courtroom 3C.
2. On December 13, 2022, Defendants filed their Motion Requesting Leave to Appear Telephonically (via Zoom) at the hearing on Plaintiffs' Motion [ECF No. 76]. On December 14, 2022, Magistrate Judge Albregts entered a Minute Order requiring Defendants to meet and confer with Plaintiffs' counsel regarding Defendants' Motion Requesting Leave to Appear Telephonically [ECF No. 77].
3. On December 14, 2022, Defendant Clayton Sampson and Plaintiffs' counsel Brent Kugler conferred regarding Defendants' Motion. As a result of the conference, Defendants and Plaintiffs hereby stipulate and agree that Plaintiffs, through their counsel, and Defendants Clayton Sampson and Elisha Sampson may appear via videoconference at the hearing on Plaintiffs' Motion for Attorney's and Costs.
4. In support of this stipulation, the parties state that Defendants, as well as Plaintiffs' counsel with Scheef & Stone, LLP are out-of-state. Both Defendants and counsel for Plaintiffs are able to participate in the hearing remotely, but with the short notice given for the hearing, both Defendants and counsel for Plaintiffs have scheduling conflicts that make it greatly inconvenient to appear in person for the hearing on December 19, 2022.
5. Further, although Plaintiffs have local counsel, the Motion for Attorney's Fees concerns fees incurred by attorneys at Scheef & Stone, and attorneys from that firm are best suited to respond to any inquiries from the Court regarding the fees requested DATED this 15th day of December, 2022.
ORDER
Good cause appearing therein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties' stipulation (ECF No. 78) is GRANTED. The hearing will be conducted by video and all parties will receive an email invitation with a link to appear.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants' motion requesting leave to appear telephonically on plaintiffs' motion for attorney's fees and cost (ECF No. 76) is DENIED as moot.
