The Court also sets a further Case Management Conference on September 28, 2016 at 2:00
p.m. A Joint Case Management Statement is due by September 21, 2016.
Counsel may not modify these dates without leave of court. The parties shall comply with

The parties must take all necessary steps to conduct discovery, compel discovery, hire
counsel, retain experts, and manage their calendars so that they can complete discovery in a timely

10

manner and appear at trial on the noticed and scheduled dates. All counsel must arrange their

12

calendars to accommodate these dates, or arrange to substitute or associate in counsel who can.

13

The Court will not continue a deadline based on an opposing party’s failure to produce discovery

14

if the party seeking the continuance has not been diligent in seeking or compelling the production

15

of that discovery.

16

Trial dates set by this Court should be regarded as firm. Requests for continuance are

17

disfavored. The Court will not consider any event subsequently scheduled by a party, party-

18

controlled witness, expert or attorney that conflicts with the above trial date as good cause to grant

19

a continuance. The Court will not consider the pendency of settlement discussions as good cause

20

to grant a continuance.
