Estimate of trial length (in days) Eight

This case will be tried to a jury.1 

The Court expresses no view now as to the timing of Provident’s anticipated summary 

judgment motion. See ECF No. 44 at 4. 

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.

In the parties’ Joint Case Management Statement, Provident contends that “Plaintiffs are not 

entitled to a jury trial under the terms of the governing loan agreements.” ECF No. 44 at 7. The 

Court does not determine that issue now.
