UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

The Court ordered the parties to submit a further joint scheduling report for the purpose of 

selecting the trial and pretrial conference dates. Seemingly, the parties could not agree on dates. The 

plaintiff seeks a trial date in July, September, October or December. The defense proposes a trial date 

in January 2021. Though the plaintiff’s attorney reports the January date is available to him, the 

defense does not indicate whether they are available for trial in the timeframe he proposed. In any 

event, the Court has a trial scheduled already for the January date. Thus, the Court ORDERS:

1. The trial is set on November 9, 2020

1 at 8:30 a.m.;

2. The pretrial conference is set on August 31, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. The Court will set the 

deadlines for trial motions at that time. The parties are ordered to file a joint pretrial statement pursuant 

to Local Rule 281(a)(2). The parties are further directed to submit a digital copy of their pretrial 

statement in Word format, directly to Judge Thurston's chambers, by email at 

1 Due to the need to vacate the conference, according to General Order 612, the Court lacked the input of counsel in 

selecting these dates. Thus, the parties may stipulate to different dates, assuming they available to the Court.
