These dates are set at the direction of the Court. All other dates have already passed or

5 are specified in the Local Civil Rules. If any of the dates identified in this Order or the Local
6 Civil Rules fall on a weekend or federal holiday, the act or event shall be performed on the next
7 business day. These are firm dates that can be changed only by order of the Court, not by
8 agreement of counsel or the parties. The Court will alter these dates only upon stipulation of the
9 parties or good cause shown. Failure to complete discovery within the time allowed is not
10 recognized as good cause.
11

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

12 notify Teri Roberts, the judicial assistant, at 206-370-8810 within 14 days of the date of this
13 Order and must set forth the exact nature of the conflict. A failure to do so will be deemed a
14 waiver. Counsel must be prepared to begin trial on the date scheduled, but it should be
15 understood that the trial may have to await the completion of other cases.
16

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

17 dispositive motions requires a face-to-face meeting or a telephone conference between persons
18 with authority to settle the case. The settlement conference does not have to involve a third19 party neutral.
