The trial date was previously continued from April 15, 2019, to June 24, 2019, on the parties’ stipulated
motion seeking a new trial date of May 20, 2019, which the Court could not accommodate. At that time,
the parties did not advise the Court of potential scheduling conflicts in late June 2019, and defendant’s
20 attorney still has not filed a notice of availability concerning the dates she intends to be out of the country.
In light, however, of defendant’s counsel’s anticipated unavailability from June 30 until late July 2019,
21 the parties’ current proposal to extend the dispositive motion filing deadlines to the end of May 2019,
resulting in mid-June noting dates, is unworkable because any oral argument could not be scheduled until
after defendant’s attorney returned from her travels. Thus, the Court has not altered the deadlines relating
22 to the completion of discovery and dispositive motion practice.
