[PROPOSED]ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT ALAMEDA COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER'S REQUEST TO BE DEPUTY EXCUSED FROM ATTENDING JUDICIAL SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE
LAUREL BEELER, Judge.
By letter dated February 24, 2014, defendant Alameda County Medical Center (hereafter "ACMC") has requested, pursuant to ADR Local Rule 6-10(d), that the insurance carrier representative for ACMC, Patricia Alfieri, be excused from personally attending a settlement conference scheduled by the court to occur on March 5, 2014. This letter shows that the personal attendance of Ms. Alfieri would present an unjustifiable hardship, and that settlement of the case is not dependent on the personal attendance of Ms. Alfieri.
This letter also indicates that the settlement conference was only recently moved to March 5, 2014 on the court's own motion, without consultation with the parties, and that Ms. Alfieri had been able to attend the prior settlement conference date of February 13, 2014, but cannot attend the new date due to a prearranged employment seminar. For these reasons, and good cause otherwise appearing therefor, the Court hereby ORDERS as follows:
Insurance carrier representative Patricia Alfieri is hereby excused from personally attending the settlement conference in this case on March 5, 2014.
SO ORDERED.
