The court has before it defendant’s Motion to strike the jury and try this case to the
court (doc. 101), plaintiff’s Response (doc. 103), and defendant’s Reply (doc. 105).
19
Defendant contends plaintiff waived the right to a jury trial in the deed of trust.
20
Plaintiff contends the waiver is unenforceable, and in any event the motion comes too late
21
on the eve of trial. Nevertheless, plaintiff is willing to waive its right to a jury trial if
22
defendant agrees to pay its reasonable fees and expenses incurred in preparing for a jury trial.
23
Response at 2. Defendant agrees to pay those expenses. Reply at 1-2. If the parties cannot
24
agree on the amount, the court will decide the amount. Id. The waiver of the jury is
25
unconditional.
26
We would have denied the motion on grounds it comes too late. Nevertheless, in light
27
of the plaintiff’s non-opposition and the parties’ agreement, it is ORDERED GRANTING
28
the parties’ joint Motion to try this case to the court without a jury. (Doc. 101).
