Defendants. `
O R D E R
THIS.CAUSE coming on to be heard on Defendants', !
t
DEVITT ADAMS and AMERICAN EMPLOYERS INSURANCE COMPANY, motion
-for rehearing on Plaintiffs' motion for continuance, and the
Court having con~iidered the same, upon due consideration, the
motion for rehearing shall be treated the same as a motion for
reconsideration of the Court's order of June 8, 1979 granting
the motion for continuance. The Defendant's, RITECO,~attorney
arranged for a telephone conference with the various attorneys
t
so that -the out of town attorneys would not have to be present
at the hearing on the motion for continuance. The conference
hearing was scheduled f.or 10:00 o'clock a.m. on June 8, 1979.
Present at the hearing was one of the attorneys for-Plaintiffs.
The telephone operator advised the Court that one or more of
the attorneys for Defendants was unavailable at approximately
i
e 10:15 a.m., but that she-would keep trying to reach them. The
Court waited approximately thirty minutes for the telephone
conference call to be completed and then placed a call to
~ Riteco's attorney, at which time Plaintiff's attorney argued
his motion for continuance and Riteco's attorney argued against
the motion. Zt is regretable that the attorney for Adams and
x
~ American Employers Insurance Company was not present at the
a
hearing and that the telephone operator was unable to contact
-him, but the Court waited more than thirty. minutes before pro-
R
ceeding with the hearing. Conference hearings by telephone
