Mediation Compliance Hearing: Counsel must file a joint letter with the Court not later
than December 2, 2015, advising the Court of the identity of the mediator they have selected, and
the date and time on which the mediation will occur. A letter that merely indicates that counsel
have agreed on a particular mediator does not comply with this order. If, and only if, counsel have
failed to so advise the Court, then all counsel are ordered to appear personally (not telephonically)
on December 16, 2015 at 2:00 p.m.
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.
Dated: November 12, 2015
