Case No. 2:16-cv-00217-JCM-PAL
Plaintiffs,

v.

ORDER

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Defendant.

12

This matter is before the court on the parties= failure to file a joint pretrial order as required

13

by LR 26-1(b)(5). The last Order (ECF No. 39) entered May 4, 2017, granted the parties’ request

14

to extend filing the joint pretrial to June 16, 2017. Although there is a fully briefed Motion to

15

Strike (ECF No. 49) on file, there are no dispositive motions pending.

16

On July 26, 2017, the plaintiff filed a “Motion to Alter Traditional Court Practice and

17

Schedule this Case for Trial” (ECF No 47). The court has considered the motion, the Response

18

(ECF No 51), and Reply (ECF No 53), and finds the pending motion to strike is not a basis for

19

further delaying the requirement for filing the joint pretrial order. The court will therefore grant

20

the motion to the extent a deadline for filing the joint pretrial order will be set. Once submitted,

21

the district judge will set the matter for trial consistent with his calendar and as he deems

22

appropriate.

23

IT IS ORDERED that:

24

1.

Counsel for the parties shall file a joint pretrial order which fully complies with the

25

requirements of LR 16-3 and LR 16-4 no later than October 18, 2017. The

26

disclosures required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(3) and any objections thereto shall be

27

included in the pretrial order.

3.

Plaintiff’s motion (ECF No. 47) is GRANTED to the limited extent the court has

2

now established a deadline for filing the joint pretrial order, notwithstanding the

3

pending motion to strike. Once the joint pretrial order is filed the district judge will

4

decide when to set the matter for trial

5

DATED this 25th day of September, 2017.
