The parties stipulate to move the May 21, 2013 trial to September 17, 2013.

19

This Court carries the highest caseload of any district judge in the nation. This Court’s trial

20

calendar is heavily impacted. Only this action is set for trial on May 21, 2013, and the chances of the

21

trial proceeding are good. Multiple trials are set on September 17, 2013, and the chances of trial

22

proceeding on that date are poor. This action will receive no priority setting after giving up a firm date.

23

As such, this Court ORDERS the parties, no later than December 21, 2013, to file papers to

24

inform this Court whether they still wish to continue trial to September 17, 2013.

25

Moreover, due to its heavy caseload, limited resources, and the need to prioritize criminal and

26

older civil matters over more recently filed actions, this Court ADMONISHES the parties that it is

27

unable to commit to address this action to meet the parties’ needs and expectations. As such, this Court

28

urges the parties to consider the conduct of all further proceedings by a U.S. Magistrate Judge, whose
1

1

caseload and availability is more accommodating to the parties. Forms to consent to a U.S. Magistrate

2

Judge are available on this Court’s website.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
