The Court has reviewed the joint letters filed by the parties on April 6, 2018, and hereby 

rules as follows:

1. The Court advances the case management conference from August 2, 2018, to 

May 10, 2018, at 10:30 a.m. One week before the conference, the parties shall file a joint 

statement regarding a pretrial and trial schedule for the remainder of this case. Prior to filing the 

joint statement, the parties shall meet and confer to discuss an appropriate pretrial and trial 

schedule. To guide the parties’ meet and confer, the Court notes that it shall not delay resolution

before Judge Freeman and Judge Orrick, the depositions in this case shall not be delayed.

motion has been filed as of yet.) The Court therefore orders the parties to meet and confer to see if
