Pre-Trial Conference July 15, 2016 October 6, 20161

Trial September 12, 2016 November 29, 2016

The Court notes that although the parties have made efforts to conduct some 

discovery at this point, the Stipulation to Amend the Scheduling Order contains little 

specificity in describing the additional discovery that the parties plan on conducting. 

While the Court is willing to grant the current request for an extension, the parties are 

advised that any future such requests will be viewed with great disfavor. 

The Court further SETS a status conference in this case for February 17, 2016 at 

9:30 a.m. in Courtroom 10 for the parties to provide the Court with an update on the 

parties’ discovery efforts, any anticipated motions, and to address the possibility of a 

settlement conference or other ADR option.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
