ORDER

JOINT MOTION FOR ORDER ALLOWING COUNSEL FOR PARTIES TO APPEAR TELEPHONICALLY AT MARCH 29, 2019 CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

CARLA BALDWIN CARRY, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff, Rodrigo Mijares ("Plaintiff"), and Defendant, Capital One Bank (USA), N.A. ("Defendant"), by and through their respective undersigned attorneys, respectfully file this Joint Motion requesting that the Court enter an Order Permitting Parties to appear by telephone at the Case Management Conference scheduled for March 29, 2019 at 10:00 a.m.

1. Good cause exists for the instant request. Specifically, Plaintiffs lead counsel, Carlos Alsina, is admitted Pro Hac Vice and is located in Corona, California.

2. Counsel for Capital One is located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

3. The parties already filed a Joint Case Management Report, as required by the Court. See ECF No. 17. In this Joint Case Management Report, the parties requested — and this Court has granted — an extension to the remaining discovery deadlines. See ECF No. 18.

4. The parties desire to attend the Case Management Conference by telephone as they believe it will not affect the conference in any way and will further the ends of judicial economy. Permitting the parties to attend the Case Management Conference by phone will allow the parties to conserve resources and minimize expenses.

5. The respective counsels have been communicating with each other via telephone and e-mail and have been able, and will continue, to work together to ensure that this matter proceeds forward in an orderly, professional, and cooperative manner. Moreover, no party to this action would be prejudiced by the telephonic appearance, nor would telephonic appearances detract from a meaningful Conference.

WHEREFORE, the Parties respectfully request an order from this honorable Court GRANTING this joint motion for an order allowing the parties to appear to the Case Management Conference by telephone.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
