February 10, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 28 SUBSTITUTION of ATTORNEY - PROPOSED, submitted by Ford Motor Company. (Dye, Stephen)
October 12, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 27 MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) The Court is aware that at least one motion remains under submission before the undersigned in this matter. As a result of the judicial resource emergency described in this Court's standing order re judicial emergency, more than 100 motions remain under submission in the caseload recently re-assigned to the undersigned. Although the Court has begun the process of working through this significant backlog, it may be six or more months until the motion(s) in this matter is resolved. The Court reiterates that the magistrate judge consent can alleviate the delay caused by the resource emergency. The parties SHALL reconsider magistrate judge consent for all purposes or only for this pending motion. In addition, the parties are reminded of their ongoing obligation to inform the Court of any changed circumstances that have rendered all or part of any pending motion moot. Finally, the parties are informed that the undersigned generally requires a formal settlement conference take place before any civil case proceeds to trial. Should any party wish to schedule a settlement conference, they are directed to contact Courtroom Deputy Irma Munoz at imunoz@caed.uscourts.gov signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on October 12, 2022. (Munoz, I)
September 19, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 26 MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) In light of the fact that the motion for summary judgment #21 remains under submission, the pretrial conference set for 10/14/2022 is VACATED. Upon the resolution of the pending motion, if any claims remain in this case, the Court will set a status conference to discuss any remaining scheduling issues. The parties are again warned that civil motions and trials set before district judges in this district are likely to continue to experience significant delays due to judicial resource shortages. The parties are further reminded of their ongoing obligation to inform the Court should circumstances change so as to render any pending motion moot. Finally, the parties are informed that Judge Thurston normally requires a formal settlement conference before any civil case proceeds to trial. If the parties wish to set a settlement conference, they should email Courtroom Deputy Irma Munoz at imunoz@caed.uscourts.gov signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on September 19, 2022.
