UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT CALENDAR CALL AND JURY SELECTION CALENDAR Honorable Donna F. Martinez, U. S. Magistrate Judge 450 Main Street Hartford East Courtroom November 9, 2004 10:00 a.m. NOTICE TO COUNSEL Calendar Call will begin at 10:00 a.m. on November 9, 2004, at 450 Main Street, Hartford, CT. with jury selection to follow immediately thereafter. Proposed Voir Dire questions shall be submitted in compliance with the Pretrial Order. Problems with the selection of juries or in the assignment of trial dates shall be discussed prior to the calendar date among all counsel. No continuances shall be granted except upon a timely request submitted in writing, after such consultation and upon good cause shown. Any request by counsel for a continuance to the next jury selection date must include a representation that his/her client joins in the request. Because settlement of cases assigned for jury selection or trial affects counsel and parties in other scheduled cases, timely notice must be given of settlements. As late notice imposes heavy burdens on the court system, any settlement reported after the close of business on November 5, 2004 will require an explanation of why settlement was not achieved and reported sooner. The absence of a reasonable basis for the failure to achieve and give notice earlier will result in the taxation of costs against an offending party. Attention of counsel in civil cases is called to the District Court Standing Order Regarding Trial Memoranda in Civil Cases and to this Court's Pre-trial Order.
