This order sets firm dates that can be changed only by order of the Court, not by
agreement of counsel for the parties. The Court will alter these dates only upon good cause
shown. Failure to complete discovery within the time allowed is not recognized as good cause.
If any of the dates identified in this Order or the Local Civil Rules fall on a weekend or federal
holiday, the act or event shall be performed on the next business day.
If the trial dates assigned to this matter creates an irreconcilable conflict, counsel must
notify Deputy Clerk Kim Brye at kim_brye@wawd.uscourts.gov, within 10 days of the date of
this Order and must set forth the exact nature of the conflict. A failure to do so will be deemed a
waiver. Counsel must be prepared to begin trial on the date scheduled, but it should be
understood that the trial may have to await the completion of other cases.
ALTERATIONS TO ELECTRONIC FILING PROCEDURES
As of June 1, 2004, counsel shall be required to electronically file all documents with the
court. Pro se litigants may file either electronically or in paper form. Information and procedures
or electronic filing can be found on the Western District of Washington’s website at
https://www.wawd.uscourts.gov.
