March 2, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 118 ORDER: The Southern District of New York has reconfigured courtrooms and other spaces in its courthouses to allow civil jury trials to proceed as safely as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the centralized calendaring system c urrently in place, the Clerk's Office schedules up to three jury trials to begin on each day of jury selection: a primary case and up to two back-up cases that may proceed in its place if the primary case does not go forward. At t he November 10, 2020 status conference, trial was scheduled for May 17, 2021. The Court accordingly requested a jury trial for that date and the Clerk's Office has now notified the Court that this case has been placed on the jury trial l ist for May 19, 2021. The case must be trial-ready for that date. The case is third on the list for jury trials for that day. This means that the case will not proceed on May 19, 2021, if either of the other trials scheduled for that date go forward. If the case cannot proceed on the scheduled date, the Court will seek another jury trial date for as soon as possible thereafter. As soon as the Court confirms that the matter will proceed on May 19, 2021, it will inform the parties. The previously entered pretrial schedule remains unchanged. See Minute Entry dated 11/10/2021.
