This matter is before the Court pursuant to the final pretrial conference set for Thursday,

19

December 11, 2014. This matter is set for trial on February 9, 2015. However, due to a conflict

20

with a criminal trial confirmed to begin on February 2, 2015 and estimated to last 3 to 4 weeks,

21

the jury trial in this matter is hereby VACATED. Accordingly, the final pretrial conference is

22

also VACATED. Due to this Court’s criminal trial calendar, the soonest dates available to

23

reschedule this trial are in late 2016.

24

Thus, the Court hereby orders the parties to meet and confer as to whether both parties are

25

willing to attend a settlement conference before the magistrate judge and whether the parties are

26

amenable to consenting to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge in order to have their trial

27

concluded in a more timely matter. The parties are hereby ordered to file a joint statement with

28

this Court within thirty (30) days of the entry of this order notifying the Court as to whether a
1

settlement conference would be beneficial and whether they would like to consent to the

2

jurisdiction of the magistrate judge.
