Accommodating the parties’ requested modification to the Order 1

reduces the amount of time between the trial commencement date and the

final pretrial conference. Because of this reduction, it is unlikely

that a settlement conference supervised by a federal judge will be

scheduled in this action.

On July 18, 2008, the parties filed proposed changes to the

November 5, 2007 Scheduling Order which includes an expert witness

discovery completion date that is after the last hearing date for the

law and motion hearing date deadline. This proposal is unusual, not

sufficiently explained, and does not appear practical; therefore it is

rejected. 

However, to accommodate the parties’ conclusory request for

more time for discovery, the Scheduling Order will be modified as

follows:1
