This case is being considered for an upcoming oral argument calendar in San Francisco.
Please review the San Francisco sitting dates for February 2021 and the 2 subsequent sitting months in that location at http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/court_sessions. If you have an unavoidable conflict on any of the dates, please file Form 32 immediately using the CM/ECF filing type Response to Case Being Considered for Oral Argument. Please follow the form’s instructions carefully.
When setting your argument date, the court will try to work around unavoidable conflicts; the court is not able to accommodate mere scheduling preferences. You will receive notice that your case has been assigned to a calendar approximately 10 weeks before the scheduled oral argument date.
If the parties wish to discuss settlement before an argument date is set, they should jointly request referral to the mediation unit by filing a letter immediately, using CM/ECF (Type of Document: Correspondence to Court; Subject: request for mediation).
