Re: Robinson v. Crown Equipment Corp., 2:02-CV-00084-WRW Dear Counsel: We will start this trial on Tuesday, March 17, 2009, at Helena. It must go to the jury at or before Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Please confer and divide the case up in blocks of time, and submit your division to me by noon on Tuesday, February 17, 2009. If you cannot agree on division of time between the two cases, submit letter briefs by noon on Tuesday, February 17, 2009, with your respective positions, and I will divide the time. I much prefer a mutually agreeable division of blocks of time for Plaintiff and Defendant, rather than an item by item presumptive time limit. Please keep in mind, however, that I ain't too good to do the latter. Have a nice rest of the day. Cordially, /s/ Wm. R.Wilson, Jr. Original to the Clerk of the Court
