NOTICE OF UPCOMING

TRIAL AND FINAL

PRETRIAL CONFERENCE

The Court acknowledges plaintiff’s notice of settlement of the captioned matter but notes

that all deadlines remain in place until a dismissal is filed. 

Therefore, this notice is a reminder that this case remains set for a FINAL PRETRIAL

CONFERENCE on AUGUST 12, 2015, AT 2:00 PM., with a JURY TRIAL on AUGUST 17, 2015. 

Please consult the existing case management order and review and follow all standing guidelines

and orders of the undersigned for civil cases on the Court’s website at

http://www.cand.uscourts.gov. Continuances will rarely be granted. 

The final pretrial conference will be an important event, for it will be there that the shape

of the upcoming trial will be determined, including in limine orders, time limits and exhibit

mechanics. Lead trial counsel must attend. 

To avoid any misunderstanding with respect to the final pretrial conference and trial, the

Court wishes to emphasize that all filings and appearances must be made — on pain of dismissal,

default or other sanction — unless and until a dismissal fully resolving the case is received. 

It will not be enough to inform the clerk that a settlement in principle has been reached or to

lodge a partially executed settlement agreement or to lodge a fully executed agreement (or

dismissal) that resolves less than the entire case. Where, however, a fully-executed and

unconditional settlement agreement clearly and fully disposing of the entire case is lodged

reasonably in advance of the pretrial conference or trial and only a ministerial act remains, the

Court will arrange a status conference to work out an alternate procedure pending a formal

dismissal. 

Please state whether the Court can be of further ADR assistance (but avoid stating offers,

counteroffers or dollar amounts). 

In this case, the Court wishes to consider the following additional trial procedures and

desires that counsel meet and confer and reach a stipulation concerning whether and how to use

them: 

1. Scheduling opposing experts so as to appear in successive order; 

2. Giving preliminary instructions on the law; 

3. Allowing limited pre-closing deliberations (as per, e.g., Rule 39 of

the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure); and 

4. Allowing each side fifteen minutes of opening/argument time to be

used during the evidence time (in addition to normal opening statement and

closing argument). 

Please present the results of your stipulation (or not) in the joint pretrial conference

submissions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
