No continuance of a scheduled trial date will be granted except by order of the Court issued
in response to a motion made in accordance with the provisions of Civil L.R. 7. Failure of a
party to proceed with the trial on the scheduled trial date may result in the assessment of jury
costs and the imposition of appropriate sanctions, including dismissal or entry of default. Jury
costs may be also assessed for failure to provide the Court with timely notice of a settlement.
