These dates are set by the Court with agreement of the parties. All other dates are
specified in the Local Civil Rules. 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
AMENDED ORDER SETTING TRIAL DATE & RELATED DATES - 1

1 business day. These are firm dates that can be changed only by order of the Court, not by
2 agreement of counsel or the parties. The Court will alter these dates only upon good cause
3 shown; failure to complete discovery within the time allowed is not recognized as good cause.
4

If the trial date assigned to this matter creates an irreconcilable conflict, counsel must

5 notify Teri Roberts, the judicial assistant, at 206-370-8810 within 10 days of the date of this
6 Order and must set forth the exact nature of the conflict. A failure to do so will be deemed a
7 waiver. Counsel must be prepared to begin trial on the date scheduled, but it should be
8 understood that the trial may have to await the completion of other cases.
9

The settlement conference conducted between the close of discovery and the filing of

10 dispositive motions requires a face-to-face meeting or a telephone conference between persons
11 with authority to settle the case. The settlement conference does not have to involve a third12 party neutral.
