and in the exercise of peremptory challenges. See 28 U.S.C. § 1870; Fed. R. Civ. P. 47(b).” Local 

Rule 162.1(b).

Plaintiff’s motion must be denied, without prejudice, as premature. On December 7, 2015, 

Defendants filed an answer to the complaint. (Doc. 54.) On December 9, 2015, the Court issued the 

discovery and scheduling order, setting inter alia, the deadline for completion of discovery by August 

9, 2016, and a dispositive motion deadline of October 17, 2016. (Doc. 55.) 

On March 8, 2016, Defendant Wang filed a motion for summary judgment based on Plaintiff’s 

failure to exhaust the administrative remedies, which is currently pending before the Court. (Doc. 68.) 

In addition, the deadline for the filing of dispositive motions has not yet expired. Accordingly, this 

case is not yet ready for trial, and Plaintiff’s motion for a copy of the procedures utilized by Senior 

United States District Judge Anthony W. Ishii in the selection of the jury and exercise of peremptory 

challenges is DENIED, without prejudice, as premature. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
