These dates are set at the direction of the Court after reviewing the joint status
report and discovery plan submitted by the parties. All other dates are specified in the
12 Local Civil Rules. These are firm dates that can be changed only by order of the Court,
not by agreement of counsel or parties. The Court will alter these dates only upon good
13 cause shown: failure to complete discovery within the time allowed is not recognized as
good cause.
14
As required by LCR 37(a), all discovery matters are to be resolved by agreement if
15 possible. Counsel are further directed to cooperate in preparing the final pretrial order in
the format required by LCR 16.1.
16
The original and one copy of the trial exhibits are to be delivered to the courtroom
17 at a time coordinated with Gail Glass, who can be reached at 206-370-8522. Each exhibit
shall be clearly marked. Plaintiff’s exhibits shall be numbered consecutively beginning
18 with 1; defendant’s exhibits shall be numbered consecutively beginning with the next
multiple of 100 after plaintiff’s last exhibit. For example, if plaintiff’s last exhibit is
19 numbered 159, then defendant’s exhibits shall begin with the number 200. Duplicate
documents shall not be listed twice: once a party has identified an exhibit in the Pretrial
20 Order, any party may use it. Each set of exhibits shall be submitted in a three-ring binder
with appropriately numbered tabs.
21
Counsel must be prepared to begin trial on the date scheduled, but it should be
22 understood that the trial might have to await the completion of other cases.
