Opinion
Case No.: C 11-02892 PSG
11-02-2011
NATHANIEL S. HOSEA, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL B. DONLEY, SECRETARY OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE, Defendant.
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF
NATHANIEL S. HOSEA'S MOTION
TO APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY AT
SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE
Plaintiff Nathaniel Hosea ("Hosea") moves to appear telephonically at a settlement conference scheduled to be held on November 30, 2011. He currently resides in San Diego and states that he lacks the financial resources necessary to appear personally at a settlement conference in this district.
Aside from noting that Hosea is the plaintiff and elected to bring the action here, the court notes that at the case management conference held on September 16, 2011, Judge Davila ordered Hosea to appear personally at the settlement conference. He expressly denied Hosea's request to appear telephonically at the settlement conference.
Hosea's motion to appear telephonically at the settlement conference therefore is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
