January 13, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 186 ORDER: Defendant's motion for a certificate of appealability #180 is denied. The Court is not of the opinion that there is substantial ground for difference of opinion as required by 28 U.S.C. 1292(b). Further, interlocutory appeal will not materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation; trial in this matter is pending shortly and if Defendant is found liable, the issue will be available for appeal in short order; a finding in Defendant's favor, however, will moot the need for an appeal on this issue. Defendant's motion to continue the trial #183 is also denied. The Court's schedule for the week of 2/21 will permit the trial to continue into that week if necessary. No appearance on the motions on 1/19 is required. The pretrial schedule previously set by the Court #179 stands. Signed by the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr on 1/13/2017. (ph, )
