    whichever first occurs.

    for District Court and the fifth Thursday/Friday for civil trials.    Cases
    will be assigned for trial at the Tuesday readiness hearing one week prior to
    the assigned trial date.  When two or more cases are ready they will go to
    trial in the order assigned by the Court at the Readiness Hearing.
