Motions and Briefings: — Establish dates for filing motions, oppositions, replies, and any necessary hearings. 4. Deadline for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): — Designate a timeline for exploring and conducting any ADR procedures, such as mediation or arbitration. 5. Pretrial Conference and Trial Dates: — Determine the dates for the pretrial conference, jury selection, and trial commencement. By incorporating these essential elements into the scheduling order, we believe we can avoid unnecessary delays, prevent undue burden on both parties, and ensure a swift resolution to the dispute at hand. In adherence to the principles of fairness and due process, we kindly request your immediate consideration and approval of this scheduling order. We acknowledge that the specific circumstances of each case may require adjustments to the proposed timeline. Therefore, we are more than willing to engage in a constructive discussion and adapt the schedule to the unique needs of this case, subject to your guidance and approval.
