Event Deadline

motion November 2, 2016

Federal defendants’ reply December 7, 2016

Intervenors’ reply December 7, 2016

Hearing on the parties’ motions for summary judgment January 10, 2017 at 

8:30 a.m.

The requests of the federal defendants and the defendants-intervenors to file overlength 

briefs, ECF No. 35 at 9-10, are denied without prejudice. It is too early to tell whether additional 

pages will be needed. Before the parties make such requests in the future, they are urged to bear 

in mind that the defendant group as a whole will already have 50 pages of briefing available

collectively even if the page limits are not extended. 

Plaintiffs may, if they choose, file a single brief on November 2, 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. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 23, 2016
