REQUEST AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR ENTRY INTO AND USE OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT AT TRIAL

KANDIS A. WESTMORE, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff hereby submits to the Court a list of the electronic equipment to be used during trial and requests the Court enter an Order permitting the following electronic and audiovisual equipment to be used for the display of depositions, demonstratives, exhibits and graphics — all of which will aid the Court and Jury in reviewing the presentations and evidence submitted during trial:

1) One Canon Video Visualizer (Commonly referred to as an "Elmo");

2) One LCD Projector;

3) Two Laptop computers;

4) One External Hard Drives;

5) One Small Table/Cart;

6) One tri-pod;

7) One platen tops for tri-pod;

8) A set of portable stereo speakers;

9) Large tripod projection screen; and

10) A large bag with various cables, power cords, power strips, duct tape and other items for cable safety.

The above listed equipment will be brought into the courtroom and operated by Plaintiff's counsel M. Jeffery Kallis and Steven M. Berki.

The Court has inherent power to manage the proceedings for it and its courtrooms. See United States v. Grace, 526 F.3d 499, 509 (9th Cir. 2008) ("Judges exercise substantial discretion over what happens inside the courtroom. [Citations] We have accepted that `[a]ll federal courts are vested with inherent powers enabling them to manage their cases and courtrooms effectively ...' [Citations].")

Due to the need for audio visual and electronic equipment, plaintiff requests the Court allow these items into the Courtroom prior to June 16, 2014, the first day of trial in the Stubbs v. Orlando matter.
