12

The parties have stipulated to continue the pretrial conference and trial date to

13 accommodate the vacation schedule of Craig E. Lindberg, Defendant Federal Express
14 Corporation’s lead trial counsel. Before setting a trial date, the Court routinely asks counsel
15 to confirm that the date is clear on their calendars. In addition, it is the Court’s practice to
16 explain that it does not set tentative trial dates, and that, once set, a trial will be continued
17 only due to extraordinary circumstances. A vacation scheduled by counsel after a trial date
18 has been set does not constitute such circumstances.
19

Nonetheless, as a partial accommodation, the Court will re-schedule the pretrial

20 conference from July 23, 2012, to July 16, 2012, at 3:00 PM. The trial date shall remain as
21 scheduled on August 7, 2012. If counsel wish to advance some of the filing deadlines set
22 forth in the Court’s April 18, 2011 Order for Pretrial Preparation that fall during
23 Mr. Lindberg’s planned vacation, the Court will entertain an appropriate stipulation.
24
25 IT IS SO ORDERED.
