ORDER ON TRIAL DATE
On February 14, 2017, the Magistrate Judge conducted a final pretrial
conference in the above-captioned matter and the participants discussed the
scheduling of trial for either the month of March or April. At the conference, the
parties express a preference for an April trial date.
In light of that discussion, the Court ORDERS that this case be scheduled for
jury selection on March 6, 2017 with trial to commence on March 24, 2017, unless
counsel inform the Court within two days of the date of this Order that they are able
to try the case in April, 2017. If the parties select an April trial date, jury selection
will be held on April 3, 2017 and trial will commence directly following jury selection.
If the Court does not hear from counsel within two days of the date of this Order, the
Court will proceed with the March 2017 dates for jury selection and trial.
Furthermore, the Court alerts the parties that whichever month they select,
the Court expects the case will proceed to trial once finally scheduled. In addition,

once scheduled, the Court will not entertain any motions to continue based on
attorney or witness scheduling conflicts. Specifically, if witnesses are unavailable,
the Court expects the parties to depose those witnesses and to be prepared to proceed
with the depositions in lieu of live trial testimony.
SO ORDERED.
