WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Steven Katz, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v. 

New Enchantment LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

No. CV-18-08308-PCT-JAT

ORDER 

On December 17, 2019 Defendants filed a demand for a jury trial. (Doc. 47). 

Previously, the parties stipulated that they had not requested a jury trial. (Doc. 35 at 4). 

This new demand is untimely. Fed. R. Civ. P. 38(b) (setting the time to demand a jury trial

as “no later than 14 days after the last pleading directed to the issue is served”). “An 

untimely request for a jury trial must be denied unless some cause beyond mere 

inadvertence is shown.” Pac. Fisheries Corp. v. HIH Cas. & Gen. Ins., 239 F.3d 1000, 

1002 (9th Cir. 2001) (collecting cases).

Accordingly, 

IT IS ORDERED striking Defendants’ demand for a jury trial as untimely. (Doc. 

47).

Dated this 3rd day of January, 2020.
