Re: Robinson v. Crown Equipment Corp., 2:02-CV-00084-WRW Dear Counsel: I remind you that closing arguments will commence at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 25, 2009. This is not movable. Accordingly, I urge both sides to pair your evidence down to its essence. It would probably be advisable to plan to take less time than you originally anticipated, so that both sides can get your essential evidence before the jury. I will call time on Plaintiff when his half of the time is up -- period. Likewise, I will call time on Defendant when its half of the time is up -- period. I am reaffirming these time limits because I can hardly stand to see a grown person cry. Cordially, /s/ Wm. R.Wilson, Jr. Original to the Clerk of the Court
