February 22, 2017 Filing 44 This case is being considered for the June 2017 Seattle oral argument calendar. The exact date of your oral argument has not been determined at this time. The following is a link to the upcoming court sessions: # http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/uploads/calendar/sitdates_2017.pdf . Please review these upcoming dates immediately to determine if you have any conflicts with them. If you do have conflicts, please inform the Court within 3 days of this notice by sending a letter to the Court using CM/ECF ( Type of Document : File Correspondence to Court; Subject : regarding availability for oral argument). The Court discourages motions to continue after this 3-day period. The clerk's office takes conflict dates into consideration in scheduling oral arguments but cannot guarantee that every request will be honored. Your case will be assigned to a calendar approximately 10 weeks before the scheduled oral argument date. Note that your case will be set for hearing in due course if it is not assigned to this calendar. In addition, if parties would like to discuss settlement before argument is scheduled, they should jointly request a referral to the mediation unit. Such a referral will postpone the calendaring of oral argument. All such requests must be made within 3 days of this notice by sending a letter to the Court using CM/ECF (Type of Document: File Correspondence to Court; Subject: request for mediation). Once the case is calendared, it is unlikely that the court will postpone argument for settlement discussions.[10329292] (AW) [Entered: 02/22/2017 02:22 PM]
