Order re Jury Trial by Judge Dale S. Fischer. These dates and requirements are firm. The Court is very unlikely to grant continuances unless the parties establish good cause through a concrete showing. Failure to complete discovery in a timely manner does not constitute good cause, nor does the fact that a settlement conference is pending. Each side is limited to five motions in limine, unless the Court orders otherwise. See Trial Order for specifics. Final Pretrial Conference set for 9/23/2019 at 03:00 pm before Judge Dale S. Fischer. Jury Trial set for 10/22/2019 at 08:30 AM before Judge Dale S. Fischer. (rfi)
