ANTHONY LINDSEY, Plaintiff, v. DETECTIVE SEAN BUTLER, et al ., Defendants.
ORDER
Edgardo Ramos, U.S.D.J.
On September 16, 2021, upon the application of Plaintiff, the jury trial in this matter was adjourned to January 31, 2022. Doc. 177. The Southern District of New York has reconfigured courtrooms and other spaces in its courthouses to allow civil 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.
The Clerk's Office has notified the Court that this case has been placed on the jury trial calendar for January 31, 2022. The case must be trial-ready for that day. The case is third on the list for jury trials for that day. This means that the case will not proceed on January 31, 2022, if either of the other trials scheduled for that date go forward. If the case cannot proceed on the scheduled date, the Court will seek another jury trial date for as soon as possible thereafter. As soon as the Court confirms that the matter will proceed on January 31, 2022, it will inform the parties.
It is SO ORDERED.
