LOCAL RULE 9015-1 JURY TRIAL Demand.

In any scheduling memorandum submitted to the court, a party must indicate whether the party expressly consents to the entry of a final order or judgment by the court with respect to all matters, issues, or claims for relief, and, therefore, waives the right, if any, to a jury trial. If a party does not consent to the entry of a final judgment or order for any matter, issue, or claim for relief, this must also be indicated in the scheduling memorandum, along with any specific demands for a jury trial. A non-consenting party will have 30 days from the first entry of a scheduling order by the court to file a motion to determine whether the court may enter a final judgement or order with respect to any matter, issue, or claim for relief. The failure to timely move to determine whether the court may enter a final judgement or order with respect to any matter, issue, or claim for relief will constitute a waiver of any right to a jury trial.
