ORDER

14
The court has before it the parties’ proposed case management plan (doc. 44), in
15
which they propose a firm trial date about 26 months after the filing of the complaint. Under
16
the Civil Justice Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. §473(a)(2)(B), and this District’s CJRA Plan,
17
General Order 98-29 at 2, the presumptive pace of litigation is 18-24 months. Some cases
18
will take less time. Some few will take more.
19
There is nothing about this case to suggest it warrants more time. We think 23 months
20
will be more than adequate to bring this case to judgment. Accordingly, we have selected
21
a November 4, 2014 firm trial date and worked backwards to produce a fair but efficient
22
scheduling order which is filed this date. We encourage the parties to read it carefully and
23
docket the dates, which will not be amended to accommodate case processing problems,
24
discovery disputes or settlement negotiations.
