Opinion
Case No. 2:11-cv-01888-KJD-CWH
02-06-2013
MARIA DIAZ, et al., Plaintiffs, v. R.C. WILLEY HOME FURNISHINGS., et al., Defendants.
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Defendant Equifax Information Services LLC's Unopposed Motion for Leave to Allow Party Representative to Appear Telephonically at Settlement Conference (#57), filed on February 5, 2013. Defendant Equifax Information Services LLC requests that the Court excuse their party representative's physical attendance at the Settlement Conference scheduled for February 21, 2013. They allege that their representative is located in Atlanta, Georgia so it would be unduly burdensome and costly to travel to Nevada for the Settlement Conference. Additionally, Defendant Equifax Information Services LLC alleges that the party representative would meaningfully participate telephonically and therefore, not prejudice any party or hamper the efficiency of the Settlement Conference. This is the second time Defendant Equifax Information Services LLC has filed this motion. The Court previously denied it on January 3, 2013. See Order #58. After careful review, the Court finds that Defendant Equifax Information Services LLC has not demonstrated good cause for the requested relief.
Based on the foregoing and good cause appearing therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Equifax Information Services LLC's Motion for Leave to Allow Party Representative to Appear Telephonically at Settlement Conference (#61) is denied.
