CLASS ACTION PLAINTIFFS' REQUEST FOR REMOTE APPEARANCE; ORDER (AS MODIFIED)
HONORABLE HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
TO THE HONORABLE COURT AND ALL COUNSEL OF RECORD:
In accordance with Judge Haywood S. Gilliam Jr., Standing Order, Plaintiff's Brandon Gay and Israel Berber (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) respectfully request the Court's permission for Plaintiffs' attorney of record, Melissa Rinehart, to appear for the Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings hearing scheduled for September 1, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. via Zoom, or telephonically.
Ms. Rinehart resides in the Southern District of California. On September 2 2022, at 1:30 p.m., Ms. Rinehart will be appearing in person in another matter, Kylee Valdies v. Altum Senior Living, LLC et al., Case No. 37-2021-00032142-CU-OE-CTL, before the Honorable Timothy Taylor. The hearing will take place in Department C-72 at the San Diego Superior Court Hall of Justice located at 330 West Broadway, San Diego, California 92101. Therefore, it would be increasingly difficult for Ms. Rinehart travel to the Oakland Courthouse in the Northern District of California with such little time in between hearings.
ORDER
Plaintiffs' Brandon Gay and Israel Berber (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) Request for Telephonic Appearance is hereby GRANTED. Counsel shall use the following dial-in information to access the call: Dial-In: 888-808-6929/Passcode: 6064255.
For call clarity, parties shall NOT use speaker phone or earpieces for these calls, and where at all possible, parties shall use landlines. The parties are further advised to ensure that the Court can hear and understand them clearly before speaking at length.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
