3. Trial will proceed on 11 March 2019. Clear the courtroom and meet in chambers by 9:00 a.m. so juror orientation can begin. We'll start with the panel at 9:30, with openings and proof after lunch.
4. I alerted counsel that I may be unavailable on March 11th because of a trial set on that day in an older case in the Helena division. I also advised them that the Honorable James M. Moody Jr. had volunteered to preside if necessary in my absence. FED. R. CIV. P. 63. The parties consented to this possibility, which the Court appreciates.
So Ordered.
