MINUTE ORDER
The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge:
(1) The parties' stipulated motion to continue trial date and related deadlines, docket no. 17, is GRANTED as set forth herein.
BENCH TRIAL DATE (2 days)
November 13, 2023
Discovery motions filing deadline
June 15, 2023
Discovery completion date
July 31, 2023
Dispositive motions filing deadline
August 24, 2023
Deadline for filing motions related to expert testimony (e.g., Daubert motions)
In their stipulated motion, the parties indicate that neither side has disclosed expert witnesses.
Because this matter is set for a bench trial, the Court will not consider motions in limine. Any complicated evidentiary issues should be addressed in the trial briefs.
Designations are required for only witnesses that will testify entirely by deposition. For any such witnesses, the entire transcript should be provided to the Court in hard copy form, with the portions that each side wishes the Court to consider highlighted (a different color for each side is optional) and any objections notated in the margins.
All other deadlines set forth in the Minute Order Setting Trial and Related Dates, docket no. 15, have expired. The terms of such Minute Order, however, concerning any alteration of the case schedule and the need for counsel to be prepared to commence trial on the date set, the agreed pretrial order and the form of the exhibit list to be included therein, the numbering of trial exhibits, and immediate communication to the Court of any settlement, remain in full force and effect.
(2) The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Minute Order to all counsel of record.
