Event Deadline

Pretrial conference statement due 4/26/16

Pretrial conference 5/6/16 at 2:00 p.m.

Trial 5/31/16 at 8:30 a.m.

Estimate of trial length (in days) 16

Counsel must file a joint letter with the Court not later than October 12, 2015, advising the 

Court of the identity of the mediator they have selected, and the date and time on which the 

mediation will occur. A letter that merely indicates that counsel have agreed on a particular 

mediator does not comply with this order. 

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. 

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 25, 2015
