PHILIP M. HALPERN, United States District Judge:
As the parties have been advised, the Southern District of New York has adopted a
centralized calendaring system for jury trials during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the system
currently in place, the Clerk’s Office schedules up to three jury trials to begin on each day of jury
selection: a primary case and up to two back-up cases that may proceed in its place if the primary
case does not go forward.
The Clerk’s Office has now notified the Court that this case has been scheduled as the
primary back up case for January 19, 2022. The case will proceed if the primary case does not go
forward.
The case must therefore be trial ready for that date. As soon as the Court confirms
whether the matter will proceed during the week of January 19, 2022, it will inform the parties. If
the case cannot proceed during the week of January 19, 2022, the Court will seek another jury
trial date for as soon as possible thereafter.
A final pretrial conference is scheduled for January 12, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. in a courtroom
to be determined.
All members of the public, including attorneys, appearing at a Southern District of New
York courthouse must complete a questionnaire and have their temperature taken before being
