EX PARTE MOTION TO APPEAR
TELEPHONICALLY AT HEARING
TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL
Defendant/CounterClaimant, Joshua Michaely, by and through his counsel of record hereby moves the Court to allow counsel for the party to appear telephonically for the hearing on the Motion to Withdraw as Counsel scheduled for October 18, 2011, at 9:00 a.m., for the reasons set forth below:
Based on a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel filed by the undersigned on September 19, 2011, the Court has set a hearing on the Motion to Withdraw as Counsel for October 18, 2011. However, counsel for Defendant/CounterClaimant, Joshua Michaely, is located in Lehi, Utah and is no longer residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. Given the distance to be traveled by the undersigned and given the nature and lack of complexity of the hearing, it is respectfully requested that undersigned be permitted to appear at the October 18, 2011 hearing telephonically. The circumstances at the hearing will not require the undersigned to be physically present. Defendant/CounterClaimant, Joshua Michaely, has expressed to the undersigned that he has no intention of appearing at the hearing himself, despite being notified of the hearing.
Furthermore, permitting appearance by telephone will save the undersigned considerable costs as it would come as a great expense to appear in Court. The undersigned has been allowed to appear telephonically in the past and has not abused that privilege. In sum, being permitted to appear by telephone would greatly assist the undersigned.
WHEREFORE, the undersigned respectfully requests this Court enter an Order allowing the undersigned for the Defendant/CounterClaimant, Joshua Michaely, to appear telephonically for the hearing on the Motion to Withdraw as Counsel scheduled for October 18, 2011, at 9:00 a.m.
Blair R. Jackson
