Today at the Judicial Management Conference, Judge Steeves stated his preference, that regardless of where the outstanding applications stand between the Plaintiffs and Defendants, he wants the trial to start on Monday, April 9th. All parties were in agreement that that would be the start date, and any outstanding issues would be dealt with as they move forward from there.

Once the trial resumes, the court will generally sit 3 weeks on, one week off until summer break between July 16 to September 3rd, and then again continuing (if needed) until mid-December. The next Judicial Management conference is on February 5th.
