CIVIL ACTION NO 08-0155-KD-N

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on a review of the parties’ Objections to Trial Exhibits.
(Docs. 445 and 453-2). The parties’ objections, as presently framed, are rote boilerplate statements,
repetitive “cut and paste,” multiple choice, or otherwise generally unhelpful to the Court. As such,
the parties shall file new Objections which are substantive in nature and which are actually tailored
to each exhibit (i.e., which will provide the Court with a preview of the real issue for each exhibit
rather than repetitive (and conclusory) reference to the Federal Rules). See, e.g., Doc. 306, Civil
Action 10-00072-KD-N, Crouch, et al., v. Teledyne Continental Motors, Inc. (S.D. Ala. June 24,
2011). These new Objections shall consist of a short one (1) paragraph explanation for each
objection.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Docs. 445 and 453-2 are hereby STRICKEN. It is
further ORDERED that the parties shall, on or before Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 12:00
p.m. (noon), file new Objections to the Trial Exhibits in the manner referenced supra.
DONE and ORDERED this the 16th day of September 2011.
