STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER PERMITTING COUNSEL TO APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY AT THE JULY 18, 2018 STATUS CONFERENCE

JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.

Plaintiffs Lindsey and Jeff Aberin, Don Awtrey, Charles Burgess, Daniel Criner, John Kelly, Yun-Fei Lou, Joy Matza, and Melissa Yeung ("Plaintiffs"), and Defendant American Honda Motor Co., Inc. ("AHM"), pursuant to Paragraph D of the Court's Standing Order for all Civil Cases, and subject to approval by the Court, hereby stipulate and request that counsel for Plaintiffs and AHM may be permitted appear telephonically at the Seventh Status Conference scheduled to take place on July 18, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific time in Courtroom 9 of the above-captioned Court, and in support state as follows:

1. The parties filed their Seventh Joint Case Management Statement on July 9, 2018 (D.E. 151);

2. The parties anticipate that the Status Conference will be brief because, as evidenced by the Joint Statement, they have identified only a small number of issues meriting the Court's attention at this time;

3. The attorneys who will be appearing on behalf of AHM and Plaintiffs at the Status Conference reside in Chicago and Philadelphia, respectively;

4. Given the anticipated brevity of the Seventh Status Conference, the relatively high cost of cross-country travel, and a mutual desire to preserve party resources, the parties have met and conferred and agreed to submit this joint request to the Court for permission to appear at the Status Conference by telephone;

WHEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AND REQUEST that the Court enter an Order permitting attorneys for all parties to appear telephonically at the Seventh Status Conference on July 18, 2018.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

IT IS ORDERED that attorneys for all parties may appear telephonically at the Seventh Status Conference scheduled to take place on July 18, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific time in Courtroom 9 of the above-captioned Court.
