`
`
`SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to Rule 16(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (“FRCP”), the Local Civil
`
`Rules of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (“LR”), and the Civil
`
`Justice Expense and Delay Reduction Plan of the United States District Court for the Northern
`
`District of Texas, the Court ORDERS as follows:
`
`1.
`
`This case is set for JURY trial on the Court’s three-week docket beginning
`
`January 27, 2025 (“Trial Setting”). Trial may commence any time during this three-week
`
`docket. If the case is not reached at this setting, it will be reset after considering input from the
`
`parties. Reset or continuance of the Trial Setting does not alter the deadlines in this Order unless
`
`expressly provided by court order.
`
`2.
`
`The parties shall mediate this case before Hon. David Folsom (Ret.) (“Mediator”)
`
`at least 90 days before the Trial Setting. The parties may not eliminate this requirement or
`
`substitute the Mediator except by leave of court. All parties must attend the mediation in person
`
`or by videoconference, as directed by the Mediator. Legal entities must provide a representative
`
`with full authority. If there is insurance involved, a representative with full authority must attend.
`
`The Mediator shall contact the Court directly if this deadline needs to be extended or if other
`
`requirements need to be altered.
