IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA SAN JOSE DIVISION NO. C 08-00286 JW ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS' REQUEST TO MODIFY THE PRELIMINARY PRETRIAL CONFERENCE SCHEDULING ORDER / Presently before the Court is Defendants' Request to Modify the Preliminary Pretrial Conference Scheduling Order. (See Docket Item No. 412.) In their Request, Defendants contend that their designated OB/GYN expert will be unavailable until mid-November and request that the trial dates be reset to begin on December 5, 2011. (Id.) Plaintiff does not oppose the Request to reset the trial dates to December 5. (See Docket Item No. 414.) Upon review, the Court finds good cause to GRANT Defendants' Request to Modify the trial schedule. However, in light of its own availability, the Court cannot accommodate Defendants' proposed December 5, 2011 start date. Accordingly, the Court Orders as follows: Final Pretrial Conference at 11 a.m. (¶4 ) (.14 days before Jury Selection) November 21, 2011 at 11 a.m.

In light of the new trial schedule and the Court's desire to manage pending motions on its docket, the Clerk of Court shall terminate all pending Motion in Limines as withdrawn. The parties shall refile these Motions at the appropriate time in preparation for the new Final Pretrial Conference. Dated: April 4, 2011 JAMES WARE United States District Chief Judge

Jury trials are held in afternoon sessions from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, Tuesdays through Fridays unless the Court otherwise specifies. At the Final Pretrial Conference, the Court reserves the right to fold the afternoon sessions into morning sessions (9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.) thus creating full days for trial. The final trial schedule will be confirmed at the Final Pretrial Conference. 2
