It would be a substantial hardship for me to attend the settlement conference in

2 person. I cannot afford the considerable financial expenses needed for me to travel to San 3 Francisco to participate in the settlement conference in person. Moreover, I am employed in 4 Scottsdale, Arizona and cannot afford to miss any days of work. Attending the settlement 5 conference in person would require me to miss at least one, if not two, days of work. 6 4.
