Event Deadline

Trial March 20, 2017 at 

8:30 a.m.

Estimate of trial length (in days) Ten

The Court also sets a further Case Management Conference on September 28, 2016 at 2:00 

p.m. A Joint Case Management Statement is due by September 21, 2016. 

Counsel may not modify these dates without leave of court. The parties shall comply with 

the Court’s standing orders, which are available at cand.uscourts.gov/jstorders.

The parties must take all necessary steps to conduct discovery, compel discovery, hire 

counsel, retain experts, and manage their calendars so that they can complete discovery in a timely 

manner and appear at trial on the noticed and scheduled dates. All counsel must arrange their 

calendars to accommodate these dates, or arrange to substitute or associate in counsel who can. 

The Court will not continue a deadline based on an opposing party’s failure to produce discovery 

if the party seeking the continuance has not been diligent in seeking or compelling the production 

of that discovery.

Trial dates set by this Court should be regarded as firm. Requests for continuance are 

disfavored. The Court will not consider any event subsequently scheduled by a party, partycontrolled witness, expert or attorney that conflicts with the above trial date as good cause to grant 

a continuance. The Court will not consider the pendency of settlement discussions as good cause 

to grant a continuance. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 10, 2016
