judgment motion. See ECF No. 44 at 4.
Counsel may not modify these dates without leave of court. The parties shall comply with

12
13

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

14
15

counsel, retain experts, and manage their calendars so that they can complete discovery in a timely

16

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

17

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

18
19

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

20

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

21

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

22

to grant a continuance.
