(Docket No. 259)
NANCY J. KOPPE, Magistrate Judge.
Pending before the Court is Defendant dick clark productions, inc.'s (DCPI) motion to appear telephonically for the settlement conference scheduled for August 18, 2015. Docket No. 259. DCPI represents that it is fully indemnified in this action by co-Defendant MJJ Productions, Inc. Id., at 2. DCPI also represents that Howard Weitzman, the acting General Counsel for MJJ Productions, has full authority to settle the case on behalf of DCPI and MJJ Productions. Id., at 2. As such, DCPI requests that Court permit Mr. Weitzman to appear on its behalf and allow "an additional representative of DCPI to appear telephonically in the highly unlikely event that it becomes necessary to consult such person." Id., at 2.
Any response to DCPI's motion was due no later than August 7, 2015. Docket No. 261. To date, no response has been filed opposing the motion. See Docket. The motion, therefore, may be granted as unopposed. See Local Rule 7-2(d). The Court has also reviewed the motion and finds compelling justification for granting it.
Accordingly, Defendant's motion to appear telephonically for the settlement conference (Docket No. 259) is hereby GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Michael Kohn, the General counsel of DCPI, shall be available via telephone for the duration of the settlement conference.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
