REMINDER NOTICE
OF UPCOMING TRIAL
AND FINAL PRETRIAL
CONFERENCE

This notice serves as a friendly reminder that this case remains set for a FINAL
PRETRIAL CONFERENCE on

NOVEMBER 23, 2015, at 2:00P P.M., with a JURY TRIAL on

21

NOVEMBER 30, 2015. Please consult the existing case management order and review and

22

follow all standing guidelines and orders of the undersigned for civil cases on the Court’s

23

website at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov. Continuances will rarely be granted.

24

The final pretrial conference will be an important event, for it will be there that the

25

shape of the upcoming trial will be determined, including in limine orders, time limits and

26

exhibit mechanics. Lead trial counsel must attend.

27
28

To avoid any misunderstanding with respect to the final pretrial conference and trial,
the Court wishes to emphasize that all filings and appearances must be made — on pain of

1

dismissal, default or other sanction — unless and until a dismissal fully resolving the case is

2

received. It will not be enough to inform the clerk that a settlement in principle has been

3

reached or to lodge a partially executed settlement agreement or to lodge a fully executed

4

agreement (or dismissal) that resolves less than the entire case. Where, however, a

5

fully-executed and unconditional settlement agreement clearly and fully disposing of the entire

6

case is lodged reasonably in advance of the pretrial conference or trial and only a ministerial

7

act remains, the Court will arrange a status conference to work out an alternate procedure

8

pending a formal dismissal.

Please state whether the Court can be of further ADR assistance (but avoid stating
offers, counteroffers or dollar amounts).
The Court strongly encourages attorneys with fewer than four years of experience to

12

take witnesses and to be an important part of the trial so as to train the next generation of trial

13

lawyers.
