Sure but presumably, two judges scheduled events pertaining to the same attorney at the same time.

I took the question to ask more or less, "Is their any judicial obligation to avoid scheduling conflict, when the attorney is already obligated to be present at a different court-related function".

I assume this is usually granted by courtesy, but a fed up judge has no obligation to do so.

Where did you get that that particular attorney is "obligated to be present"? He's not being sued, Uber is. Uber obviously has to be there in some capacity, but they have no shortage of lawyers, both inhouse and external counsel. (That particular one is external, he works for Morrison & Foerster).

IANAL.
