PLAINTIFF'S ADMINISTRATIVE
REQUEST TO APPEAR BY TELEPHONE
AT INITIAL STATUS CONFERENCE;
AND, ORDER THEREON
Date: February 14, 2012
Time: 9:30 AM
Dept.: Courtroom No. 9
Judge: Hon. Mag. Judge Dennis L. Beck
Request is hereby made that counsel for Plaintiff California Sportfishing Protection Alliance be permitted to appear telephonically at the initial status conference scheduled for February 14, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. in this matter.
This request is made to minimize legal fees and costs. The offices of Plaintiff's lead counsel are in Petaluma, California, some 220 miles from the courthouse. Consequently, travel time to and from the Court, including parking would require approximately four and one half hours. In addition, to avoiding fees for counsel's travel time, appearance by phone will avoid costs in the form of mileage charges and tolls. Finally, appearance by phone will reduce the carbon footprint of the initial status conference.
Counsel for Plaintiff, Andrew L. Packard, may be reached at (707) 763-8203 and is directed to call chambers at (559) 499-5670 the morning of the conference.
Respectfully Submitted,
LAW OFFICES OF ANDREW L. PACKARD
