(JCX) INGENUITY 13 LLC, ,1 1 Hon. Otis D. Wright, 11 Plaintiff, Judge: Magistrate Judge: Hon. Jacqueline Chooljian v. JOHN DOE, MOTION TO APPEAR VIA TELEPHONE DefendantJuly 2, 2013, the Court issued a notice (ECF No. 200) scheduling a hearing for July 12, 2013, on'the undersigned's motion for reconsideration. The undersigned resides in Florida and just received notice on July 8, 2013 via U.S. Mail. The undersigned has a previously scheduled family matter that prohibits his in-person attendance at the July 12, 2013, hearing. Further, nine days' the Fourth of July holiday weekend, in particular--is a prohibitively narrow window of time for to receive notice of a hearing via U.S. Mail, and schedule travel arrangements to appear cross--country. Finally, attending a hearing in California is an extremely expensive proposition as it requires plane fare, a hotel room and other incidental expenses. In light of these circumstances, the undersigned attempted to arrange for a telephonic appearance, but was informed by the Court's clerk that he would have to file a motion if he wished to participate in the hearing telephonically. The undersigned has very important interests that are implicated by his motion for reconsideration. Of singular importance is that the upcoming hearing on the motion for reconsideration will be the undersigned's first opportunity he will have ever had to MOTION TO APPEAR VIA TELEPHONE CASE NO. (JCX) Case Document 209 Filed 07/10/13 Page 2 of 4 Page ID #:3779 respond to pleadings filed by Attorney Ranallo and Attorney Pietz that were never served upon the undersigned, and resulted in ex-parte orders clearly detrimental to him. The undersigned is not aware of any harm that would be caused by his appearance by telephone instead of in-person. Further, the undersigned is concerned that many of the pro Se persons--all of whom reside far outside of Ca1ifornia--would have first received the Court's mailed scheduling notice today (at the earliest) and will similarly be unable to travel to California on such short notice. Further, several of the pro se persons in this matter are of limited income and cannot afford the extreme financial hardship associated with missing work and flying across country on 3 days notice. As an aside, it appears that the scheduling order may not yet have even been mailed to several of the pro Se persons. For these reasons, the undersigned respectfully requests that the Court allow him (and other pro .99 persons, if they so request) to appear telephonically. If the Court denies this request, there is a substantial likelihood that the concerns discussed above will prohibit some or all of the pro Se persons from attending the July 12, 2013, hearing on the undersigned's motion for reconsideration. Such a result would deny the Court of the benefit of adversary presentation and would deny the pro se persons their due "process right to be heard which is the very subject matter of the undersigned's Respe ubmitted, 4. John teele' motion for reconsideration. DATED: July 8, 2013 1111 incoln Roa Su' Mia i Beach, Florida 33139 Pro 2 MOTION TO APPEAR VIA TELEPHONE 1 CASE NO.
