MINUTE ORDER

Defendant.
The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable
Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge:

(1)
The Court treats the parties’ stipulated motion to continue certain deadlines,
13 docket no. 16, as a motion to continue the trial date,1 and GRANTS such motion as
follows.

JURY TRIAL DATE (4-5 days)

The parties suggest that extending the dispositive motions filing deadline to April 19, 2018,
20 will not affect the current trial date of June 11, 2018. They are mistaken. The noting date for
any such dispositive motions would be May 11, 2018, which is the day after motions in limine
21 are currently due, and only three weeks before the date presently set for a Pretrial Conference.
Such schedule is not workable for the Court or the parties. Because the motivating reason for
seeking a continuance is the need for additional time to disclose experts, the Court has based the
22 new trial date on the parties’ proposed expert witness disclosure deadline.
