The Court has reviewed the parties’ Stipulation and Proposed Order Continuing Dates. (Dkt.

14

Nos. 58 & 59.) The parties’ request is DENIED.
15

As a preliminary matter, the Court does not have any available trial dates in August or
16

September 2013 and cannot accommodate the parties’ request. At this time, the Court is scheduling
17

trials in Spring 2014. In addition, the parties have not shown good cause for a continuance. If the
18

parties would like a trial date in August or September 2013, the Court encourages them to consent to
19

the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge who can guarantee that trial date. Counsel are ordered to discuss
20

this option with their clients, and then the parties shall meet and confer regarding same. The Court
21

will accept requests for assignment to a specific magistrate judge or magistrate judges.1 When the

22

parties meet and confer, the parties also must discuss the parties’ availabilities for alternate trial dates.
23

A Case Management Conference is currently scheduled for February 25, 2013. If the parties
24

wish to have a conference with the Court sooner, counsel shall meet and confer and may submit a
25

written request to advance this date. The parties are strongly advised to re-review the Court’s
26

Standing Order in Civil Cases.
27

This Order terminates Dkt. No. 58.
