McCabe, Brian

The case is regularly called for hearing:
- The Court notes that there was no request for oral argument made
- The Court orders:
The tentative ruling is confirmed by the Court as follows:
As a result of the reduction in court services due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is currently a backlog
of criminal trials that take priority over civil matters. Accordingly, this Case Management Conference is
continued, on the Court’s own motion, to Monday, August 23, 2021 at 10:00 in Courtroom 8. The court
does not anticipate that it will begin setting civil jury trials until sometime after June of 2021 and does
not anticipate that any civil jury trials will commence prior to September of 2021. Until new trial dates
are being set, the court will vacate any existing trial dates as they come due, and set the matters for a
Case Management Conference. Discovery is to remain open with regard to any matters for which a trial
dates is vacated without regard to the status of discovery at the time the trial date is vacated. Parties
that wish to commence expert discovery prior to the setting of a trial date should bring an ex parte
application seeking early disclosure of expert witnesses.
