Estimate of trial length (in days)

The parties’ request for bifurcation of liability and damages, ECF No. 16 at 7, is denied
without prejudice. The parties, or either of them, may renew the motion when the Court has
sufficient evidence and experience with the case to determine whether a bifurcated proceeding
would be more convenient, expeditious, or economical, or would avoid prejudice to any party.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 42. It is premature to answer these questions now.
Counsel may not modify these dates without leave of court. The parties shall comply with
the Court’s standing orders, which are available at cand.uscourts.gov/jstorders.
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
manner and appear at trial on the noticed and scheduled dates. All counsel must arrange their
calendars to accommodate these dates, or arrange to substitute or associate in counsel who can.
Trial dates set by this Court should be regarded as firm. Requests for continuance are
disfavored. The Court will not consider any event subsequently scheduled by a party, partycontrolled witness, expert or attorney that conflicts with the above trial date as good cause to grant
a continuance. The Court will not consider the pendency of settlement discussions as good cause
to grant a continuance.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
