v.
Defendant.
The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable
Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge:
(1)
On March 19, 2021, the Court entered General Order 04-21, continuing
13 nearly all civil and criminal in-person trials scheduled to occur before June 30, 2021.
The parties are therefore ORDERED to show cause why this Court should not require
14 that this six-day jury trial, which is scheduled to begin on June 14, 2021, be conducted
virtually over any party’s objection. See Joint Status Report at ¶ 4 (docket no. 78); see
15 also Le v. King County, No. C18-55-TSZ, 2021 WL 859493, at *6 (W.D. Wash. Mar. 8,
2021) (holding that “‘good cause in compelling circumstances’ justify conducting [that]
16 trial via a videoconferencing platform, that ‘appropriate safeguards’ for doing so are in
place, and that a continuance of the trial date is unnecessary and would be prejudicial to
17 [the opposing party]”). The parties shall file their show-cause response, not to exceed
four (4) pages in length, on or before Friday, April 16, 2021.
