`Case 5:18-md-02834-BLF Document 274 Filed 10/30/18 Page 2 of 3
`
`Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-11 and the Section C.5 of the Standing Order regarding Civil
`
`Cases of this Court, Defendant Cars.com respectfully moves the Court for an order permitting its
`
`counsel at the Marshall, Gerstein & Borun LLP, Benjamin T. Horton and Tron Fu, to appear by
`
`telephone on Cars.com’s behalf at the Case Management Conference scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on
`
`November 2, 2018, before the Honorable Judge Beth L. Freeman.
`
`The Court’s Standing Order, Section C.5., “Telephonic Appearances,” states, “Telephonic
`
`appearances generally are permitted for Case Management Conferences…” Defendant will comply
`
`with the Standing Order’s requirements for arranging telephonic appearances.
`
`Mr. Horton and Mr. Fu are located in the Chicago office of the Marshall Gerstein firm. It
`
`would be costly for Cars.com to have them travel to appear in person as it would take approximately
`
`13 to 18 hours of travel time and require an overnight stay in California. Cars.com’s case is one of
`
`the numerous customer cases currently stayed while the Court proceeds with the Amazon DJ action.
`
`In view of the limited involvement required of Cars.com’s counsel at the Conference and the
`
`significant time and expenses involved for an in-person appearance, Cars.com respectively requests
`
`the Court to permit its counsel Mr. Horton and Mr. Fu to participate telephonically in the Conference
`
`Counsel for Plaintiffs does not object to this request.
