[489], [490], [492], [493]), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that trial against Cox will start on August 18, 2020. There will be no trial on August 21, 2020. Unless the parties reach some agreement on the damages experts, neither sides damages expert shall attend the trial before August 24, 2020, and Plaintiffs damages expert will be permitted to testify on August 24 even if Plaintiff has otherwise finished its case before then. Defendant has a huge trial team from a huge international law firm. If some of them are otherwise committed to other cases, then five months lead time is enough time to make other arrangements. The parties should jointly propose a pretrial conference date to take place before July 3, 2020. Ordered by Judge Richard G. Andrews on 3/16/2020.
