`
`This case will be tried to a jury.
`
`Counsel may not modify these dates without leave of court. The parties shall comply with
`
`the Court’s standing orders, which are available at cand.uscourts.gov/jstorders.
`
`The parties must take all necessary steps to conduct discovery, compel discovery, hire
`
`counsel, retain experts, and manage their calendars so that they can complete discovery in a timely
`
`manner and appear at trial on the noticed and scheduled dates. All counsel must arrange their
`
`calendars to accommodate these dates, or arrange to substitute or associate in counsel who can.
`
`Trial dates set by this Court should be regarded as firm. Requests for continuance are
`
`disfavored. The Court will not consider any event subsequently scheduled by a party, party-
`
`controlled witness, expert or attorney that conflicts with the above trial date as good cause to grant
`
`a continuance. The Court will not consider the pendency of settlement discussions as good cause
`
`to grant a continuance.
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
`
`Dated: March 7, 2018
