Opinion
Civil Action No. 04-cv-00868-MSK-BNB.
March 28, 2006
ORDER
The parties appeared on March 28, 2006, for a final pretrial conference. Previously, on March 13, 2006, I entered an order denying a motion to extend the dispositive motion deadline and to vacate the final pretrial conference [Doc. # 76]. I denied the requested extensions because a trial of this case is set to begin on June 27, 2006, and the requested extensions were unrealistic in view of the pending trial date. My order of March 13 notwithstanding, the parties failed to prepare a proposed pretrial order for my review.
I am aware of the defendants' Joint Defense Motion for Trial Continuance [Doc. # 77, filed 3/21/06]. The district judge has reserved that motion and will rule on it herself. I do not know when a ruling will occur.
In view of these events, and at the direction of the district judge:
IT IS ORDERED that the parties shall meet on or before April 21, 2006, and jointly prepare a proposed final pretrial order, which shall be submitted to the Court no later than May 8, 2006. No extensions of this deadline will be granted. The proposed final pretrial order shall conform to the requirements of Appendix G to the local rules of practice, D.C.COLOLCivR. The district judge has informed me that she will review the proposed final pretrial order and enter a pretrial order at her trial preparation conference.
