Although the November 15, 2005 Court Order accurately reflected the parties' tentative agreement to hold the trial at the end of March, Blueport's damages expert later indicated that he would not be able to participate in a trial at that time. The parties were unable to reschedule trial prior to the first week in June, due to pre-existing obligations by counsel and the expert witnesses. The court's clerk later forwarded information regarding the Court's availability for trial.
