(Joint Mot. 20 (Dkt. # 116); 11/13/17 Min. Order (Dkt. # 115).) Because counsel for both parties have 21 preexisting scheduling conflicts (see Joint Mot.; Morrison Decl. (Dkt. # 117); Lowney 22 Decl.

The parties must file witness and 6 exhibit lists no later than Friday, December 8, 2017, at 5:00 p.m. After the presentation 7 of evidence, the court will hear argument from counsel. In addition to other issues the 8 court may address, the court DIRECTS the parties to be prepared to discuss Rainier’s 9 actions towards compliance with Paragraph 7(f) since the time the parties briefed the 10 11 motion.
