Mediation: Defendants agree to mediate with a mutually agreeable mediator. Some mediators who came up in discussions with plaintiffs’ counsel were Bill Smith, Mike 14 Orenstil, Matt Conant, and Arnie Levison. Bill Smith is Defendant’s suggestion. 15 . Trial date: Defendants agree the January 10, 2022 trial date should be continued and understand all parties agree on that point. Defendants request the case be continued 16 to November 15, 2022 because: 1) this will accommodate the trial schedules of Defendants’ trial counsel; 2) all the parties want an in person jury trial and a later date 17 will make that more likely without a further continuance. 18 Defendants also propose an early expert disclosure, and that it be 100 days before trial 19 assuming a November 15, 2022 trial date. 20 Defendants discussed these issues with plaintiff counsel a sent a follow up email attached as 21 Ex.
