ORDER
Counsel have written to the court to ask for an adjournment of the trial date to allow additional time to mediate and settle the case. The request is DENIED.
Although the court supports and encourages mediation and settlement efforts, it anticipates that such efforts will not affect previously-scheduled deadlines or the trial date in the case. If counsel are able to settle the case before they have to begin trial preparation, that would be fine. If not, they should prepare for trial on March 28, 2005.
