Following the parties’ failure to properly prepare for the final pretrial conference and

20

bench trial (originally set for June 21, 2011 and June 27, 2011, respectively), the final pretrial

21

conference was re-set for January 17, 2012 and the bench trial was re-set to begin on January

22

23, 2012. Although plaintiff filed a pretrial statement in advance of the January 17 conference,

23

she failed to submit any of the other documents (e.g., proposed findings of fact and conclusions

24

of law, trial briefs, motions in limine, etc.) required by this court’s Standing Order re Pretrial

25

Preparation. Defendants failed to make any of the required pretrial filings. They also failed to

26

appear at the January 17 conference.

27
28

This court is informed that defendant WH Shipping has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
However, the parties have presented nothing to this court indicating that the stay of these

1

proceedings as to WH Shipping has been extended to the other defendants. Nor is this court

2

convinced by plaintiff’s arguments that trial cannot now proceed as to those other defendants.

3

Nevertheless, the parties having once again failed to comply with the undersigned’s Standing

4

Order re Pretrial Preparation, and plaintiff having requested a brief continuance while she

5

pursues a request for relief from the stay as to WH Shipping, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

6

1.

The final pretrial conference is continued to April 10, 2012, 1:30 p.m. The

7

parties are admonished to comply with the undersigned's Standing Order re:

8

Pretrial Preparation with regard to the timing and content of the Joint Pretrial

9

Statement, and other pretrial submissions.

The bench trial set to begin on January 23, 2012 is vacated and will be re-set at
the final pretrial conference.
