Crtrm Administrator: Katie Lynn Ogden; Pla Counsel: Lance Weber, Ernest Galvan, Allen Lichtenstein (Telephonically); Def Counsel: Stephen Quinn (Telephonically); FTR #: 11:24:14 a.m. - 11:51:08 a.m.; Time of Hearing: 11:00 a.m.; Courtroom: 2. The court addresses the parties' 85 Proposed Discovery Plan/Scheduling Order. The court notes the dispositive motions deadline proposed in paragraph #5 would not allow sufficient time for any perspective dispositive motion(s) to be fully briefed prior to the jury trial scheduled for 11/4/2014. The court discusses alternatives to avoid the scheduling conflict including the likelihood of the parties filing dispositive motions, the possibility of scheduling a settlement conference or continuing the trial date. Counsel agree both plaintiff and defendants will like to preserve the ability to file dispositive motions. The court approves the proposed dispositive motions deadline for 10/8/2014. However, the current calendar call (10/22/14) and jury trial (11/4/14) are hereby VACATED and CONTINUED to: Calendar Call set for Wednesday, 1/21/15 at 8:30 a.m. and Jury Trial set for MondayTuesday, 2/3/15 at 9:00 a.m. The Pretrial Order deadline shall also be revised and should indicate that: in the event dispositive motions are filed, the date for filing the joint pretrial order shall be suspended until thirty (30) days after decision of the dispositive motions or no later than 12/31/2014. The parties shall file a revised Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order no later than Wednesday, April 16, 2014. The parties are reminded that if they would like to schedule a settlement conference before the court, they shall file such a request. Mr. Weber addresses the court regarding his Pro Hac Vice status (Doc. # 68 ) and requests the court waive any requirement that he must file any additional Verified Petition for Permission to Practice Pro Hac Vice. The court advises Mr. Weber that it will discuss his request with District Judge McKibben and his courtroom administrator.
