18 Civ. 5831 (PAE)

ORDER
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge:
The Court has received, and thanks counsel for, the letter setting forth the parties' availability for a bench trial in this case. Dkt. 154. In light of that availability and the parties' current estimate of the trial's length, the Court hereby tentatively schedules trial in this case for the period between December 9 and 23, 2021. Although the parties should treat those dates as firm, and reserve the full period for purposes of their preparation, given the uncertainty presented by the pandemic, the Court's criminal calendar, and the December holidays, the need may arise to modify this schedule at some point, including by completing most of the trial during the above window, while postponing some portion until early 2022.
In light of the above trial schedule, the Court hereby extends the deadline for the parties' submission of a joint proposed pretrial order-and all other filings required by the Court's Individual Rule 5 relating to bench trials, including motions in limine-from July 29, 2021 until October 28, 2021. Oppositions to motions in limine are due by November 4, 2021. A final pretrial conference in this case is hereby scheduled for November 22, 2021 at 2:00 p.m.
SO ORDERED.
