No. C 11-03864 JSW

ORDER RE PREPARATION FOR

BENCH TRIAL

On January 13, 2015, the Court ordered the parties in this matter to meet and confer and

file a joint stipulation indicating whether they would consent to a bench trial in this matter. On

January 14, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation, jointly agreeing to a bench trial. Because this

case will be tried directly to the Court, the parties shall not present opening statements or

closing arguments. The parties are instructed to be prepared to immediately begin presenting

evidence on January 26, 2015, at 8:00 a.m. The parties are further directed to read the Court’s

Guidelines for Trial and Final Pretrial Conference in Civil Bench Trials, which can be found on

the Northern District website. The Court hereby VACATES all deadlines associated with the

filing of objections to proposed voir dire and preliminary jury instructions. Given the proximity

of trial, the Clerk is directed to serve this Order on Mr. Lundie via e-mail as well as in hard

copy.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 14, 2015
