ORDER
VALERIE CAPRON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
WHEREAS on January 7, 2022, the Court notified the parties that it would request a trial date for June 1, 2022, Dkt. 190; and
WHEREAS the Southern District of New York has reconfigured courtrooms and other spaces in its courthouses to allow jury trials to proceed as safely as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the centralized calendaring system currently 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; and
WHEREAS due to the limited availability of jury trials, the Court was unable to secure a jury for this case to proceed to trial in June;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Court will request a trial date for October 17, 2022, and will notify the parties as soon as it receives a firm trial date. The parties are directed to remain available for trial from October 17, 2022 through November 30, 2022.
SO ORDERED.
