Pending before the Court is Defendants’ Motion for Continuance of Trial Date filed on

18

March 26, 2024. (Doc. No. 226). Defendants advise the Court that they are unable to comply

19

with the July 16, 2024 trial date scheduled in this case due to lead counsel for Defendants having

20

a trial scheduled to start on July 15, 2024. (Id. at 1). Defendants are not presently able to propose

21

an alternate trial date because they need additional time to consult with the numerous Defendants,

22

witnesses, and experts, and Plaintiff on their respective schedules. (Id. at 2). Defendants request

23

until April 5, 2024 to advise the Court of an alternative proposed trial date.

24

Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

25

1. Defendants’ Motion for Continuance (Doc. No. 226) is GRANTED.

26

2. No later than April 5, 2024, Defendants shall file with the Court proposed alternative trial

27

dates between August 6, 2024 and September 17, 2024. Counsel is reminded that trials

28

commence on a Tuesday.
