`
`
`
`Ms. Vaught lives in the Dallas, Texas area. Round-trip airfare to Phoenix
`
`and lodging would cost approximately $1,000 before ground transportation – a
`
`considerable expense for Ms. Vaught, who remains indigent.
`
`The Court has allowed Ms. Vaught to appear at prior final pretrial
`
`conferences and other substantive hearings by phone. Ms. Vaught can be
`
`available by phone or videoconferencing for the August 18, 2023 hearings.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The Court will find attached a proposed Order.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED on August 14, 2023.
