This order sets firm dates that can be changed only by order of the Court, not by
10
agreement of counsel for the parties. The Court will alter these dates only upon good cause
11
shown. Failure to complete discovery within the time allowed is not recognized as good cause. If
12
any of the dates identified in this Order or the Local Civil Rules fall on a weekend or federal
13
holiday, the act or event shall be performed on the next business day.
14
If the trial dates assigned to this matter creates an irreconcilable conflict, counsel must
15
notify Deputy Clerk Agalelei Elkington in writing within 10 days of the date of this Order and
16
must set forth the exact nature of the conflict. A failure to do so will be deemed a waiver.
17
Counsel must be prepared to begin trial on the date scheduled, but it should be understood that
18
the trial may have to await the completion of other cases.

Discovery

20
As required by CR 37(a), all discovery matters are to be resolved by agreement if
21
possible. Counsel are also directed to cooperate in preparing the final pretrial order in the format
22
required by CR 16.1, except as ordered below.

Pretrial Statements, Orders and Exhibits

2

The parties shall submit their respective pretrial statement and the agreed pretrial order in

3

conformity with CR 16 and CR 16.1. The original and one copy of the trial exhibits are to be

4

delivered to Judge Tsuchida’s chambers on the date the pretrial order is due. Each exhibit shall

5

be clearly marked. The Court hereby alters the CR 16.1 procedure for numbering exhibits:

6

plaintiff’s exhibits shall be numbered consecutively beginning with 1; defendants’ exhibits shall

7

be numbered consecutively beginning with the next number not used by plaintiff. Duplicate

8

documents shall not be listed twice. Once a party has identified an exhibit in the pretrial order, it

9

may be used by any party. Each set of exhibits shall be submitted in a three-ring binder with

10

appropriately numbered tabs.

Settlement and Mediation

12

The Court designates this case for mediation under CR 39.1(c) and the parties are

13

directed to follow through with the procedures set forth in that rule. If this case settles, plaintiff’s

14

counsel shall notify Agalelei Elkington at [phone] or via e-mail at: Agalelei_elkington@

15

wawd.uscourts.gov, as soon as possible.

16

Pursuant to CR11(b), an attorney who fails to give the Deputy Clerk prompt notice of

17

settlement may be subject to such discipline as the Court deems appropriate. The Clerk is

18

directed to send copies of this Order to all parties of record.
