The Court finds compelling circumstances justify allowing Red River State Bank Witnesses to appear and testify by video conference. Prior to the hearing, Counsel must instruct Red River State Bank Witnesses on proper video conference protocol and procedures, and Red River State Bank Witnesses must agree to comply with these procedures and local rules. With these safeguards in place, the Court finds cause for granting the motion. The motion is granted. Red River State Bank Witnesses are permitted to appear and testify in open court by video conference
