these issues, bear in mind that trials are conducted Monday-Tuesday, Thursday-Friday,

from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., with two 15-minute breaks. Is it possible to reduce the length

presenting evidence?

14. Class Actions: If a class action, how and when will the class be certified?

15. Scheduling: What are the earliest reasonable dates for discovery cutoff, hearing

dispositive motions, pretrial conference and trial? When considering this issue, bear in

mind that the court hears dispositive motions no later than 120 days before trial and trials of

more than one week in length are currently being scheduled 14 to 18 months hence.

16. Such other matters as any party considers conducive to the just speedy and

inexpensive resolution of this matter.

17. In order to assist the court in evaluating any need for disqualification or

recusal, the parties shall disclose to the court in the case management statement,

the identities of any persons, associations, firms, partnerships, corporations

(including parent and controlled subsidiary corporations) or other entities known by

the parties to have either 1) a financial interest in the subject matter at issue or in a

party to the proceeding or 2) any other kind of interest that could be substantially

affected by the outcome of the proceeding. 

If the disclosure of non-party interested entities or persons has already been

made as required by Civil Local Rule 3-16, the parties may simply reference the

pleading or document in which the disclosure was made.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
