If the case cannot proceed during the scheduled week, the parties must notify the Court as soon as possible so that the Clerk's Office may adjust the trial-ready calendar accordingly. The Court has previously entered a schedule for pretrial submissions. (See Dkt. #88). The parties should plan to adhere to the deadlines set forth in the Court's prior Order. SO ORDERED.
