This notice serves as a friendly reminder that this case remains set for a FINAL
19
PRETRIAL CONFERENCE on
MAY 14, 2012, at 2:00 P.M., with a JURY TRIAL on MAY 21, 2012.
20
Please consult the existing case management order and review and follow all standing
21
guidelines and orders of the undersigned for civil cases on the Court’s website at
22
http://www.cand.uscourts.gov. Continuances will rarely be granted.
23
The final pretrial conference will be an important event, for it will be there that the
24
shape of the upcoming trial will be determined, including in limine orders, time limits and
25
exhibit mechanics. Lead trial counsel must attend.
26
To avoid any misunderstanding with respect to the final pretrial conference and trial,
27
the Court wishes to emphasize that all filings and appearances must be made — on pain of
28
dismissal, default or other sanction — unless and until a dismissal fully resolving the case is
1
received. It will not be enough to inform the clerk that a settlement in principle has been
2
reached or to lodge a partially executed settlement agreement or to lodge a fully executed
3
agreement (or dismissal) that resolves less than the entire case. Where, however, a
4
fully-executed and unconditional settlement agreement clearly and fully disposing of the entire
5
case is lodged reasonably in advance of the pretrial conference or trial and only a ministerial
6
act remains, the Court will arrange a status conference to work out an alternate procedure

pending a formal dismissal.

Allowing each side fifteen minutes of opening/argument time to
