February 21, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 53 ORDER denying #52 Plaintiff's MOTION for Leave to Appear Telephonically at Early Neutral Evaluation. This case involves allegations that the Defendants unlawfully attempted to collect upon a debt allegedly owed to a Homeowners Association. An Early Neutral Evaluation ("ENE") is scheduled for March 23, 2018. Plaintiff seeks leave to appear telephonically at the hearing because he is elderly and now resides in El Salvador. Plaintiff asserts that it is a burden for him to travel to San Diego for this hearing. Plaintiff elected to bring and maintain this lawsuit. The ENE is a mandatory hearing requiring Plaintiff's personal attendance. One defendant has objected to the Motion. The Court finds that the alleged burden of travel is not good cause to excuse Plaintiff's personal appearance. The motion is DENIED.. Signed by Magistrate Judge Mitchell D. Dembin on 2/21/18.
