ENDORSED ORDER: Upon review, the Court will allow all parties and interested parties in this action to appear at the August 5, 2020, mediation by Zoom video conference. Under the present circumstances, the Court finds that participation by video conference satisfies the party attendance requirement of Local Rule 9.05(c). Participation by telephone will not satisfy the personal attendance requirement unless, in the discretion of the mediator, participation by video is infeasible due to circumstances beyond the control of the parties and their counsel. Accordingly, the Motion to Appear Telephonically (Doc. #24) is denied as moot. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 6/16/2020. (SGM)
