J.T., et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN
FRANCISCO, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 23-cv-06524-LJC
ORDER RESCHEDULING TRIAL
The Court has considered the parties’ positions regarding a rescheduled trial date and their
letters addressing hardships caused by the possible dates the Court proposed in August, October,
and December of this year. The Court sets the following dates based on the premise that hardship
to Plaintiffs can be mitigated by allowing any Plaintiffs or (to the extent they will testify) other
class members who are living or attending school outside of the San Francisco Bay Area to testify
remotely by videoconference. The Court might also allow for distant Plaintiffs to observe trial
remotely, but has not reached a decision as to whether that is feasible, permissible, or appropriate.
If Defendants wish to preserve any objection to such remote testimony or observation, they must
file notice to that effect no later than one week from the date of this Order. If Defendants file such
notice, the Court intends to reset the trial for August. If Defendants do not file such notice, the
Court will deem any such objection waived.
The final pretrial conference will occur on Friday, October 9, 2026 at 1:30 PM. The
parties are referred to the Standing Order for Civil Pretrial Conferences for Magistrate Judge Lisa
J. Cisneros, available at https://cand.uscourts.gov/ljc/.
Jury selection will occur on Friday, October 16, 2026 at 8:00 AM.
Trial will begin on Monday, October 19, 2026 at 8:00 AM and end on Thursday,
