`Case 5:21-cv-03076-BLF Document 42 Filed 08/26/21 Page 2 of 3
`
`
`
`Defendant AGIS Software Development LLC (“AGIS”) respectfully requests to appear
`remotely via either Zoom or telephone at the September 2, 2021 Case Management Conference.
`Lead counsel and another counsel for AGIS resides in New Jersey. Rubino Decl. ¶2. Two other
`counsel for AGIS reside in New York. Id. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to create
`concern over in-person contact through meetings or travel. States are reimposing limitations in light
`of the new wave of the “delta variant” of the COVID-19 virus, which is found to be highly
`contagious. AGIS would thus prefer to take precautions to limit in-person contact and to minimize
`travel needs. Id. ¶3. Plaintiff WhatsApp LLC has indicated it does not oppose AGIS’s request. Id.
`¶4.
`
`For these reasons, AGIS requests the Court permit counsel for AGIS to appear remotely via
`either Zoom or telephone at the September 2, 2021 Case Management Conference in this matter.
