The parties shall continue to comply with the Uniform Trial Order. Even if this case is unable to go to trial, the parties should have everything ready to go once jurors are able to return. If the parties are agreeable to extending certain deadlines for a short period of time, the court has no objection to the same. But again, ALL outstanding discovery, including outstanding motions should be completed, and the parties are still required to mediate the case.
