ORDER
The Court notes and appreciates the parties' suggestions and objections,
NQ 142 & 143, to the Court's working draft of instructions. New drafts are
attached. I've tried to address most of the points in some way. A few are
overruled. We'll discuss the current drafts at 8:30 Monday morning at the
final pretrial.
1. Evans
•
1-4: I've deleted references to names of particular officers
in the statement of the case and preliminary
instructions. I need to hear from Defendants, and hear
the proof, before deciding which claims are submitted
against which Defendant.
•
5-7:
Adopted.
•
8:
I've created draft 12A about McDaniels, but am
uncertain whether I'll instruct.
•
9:
I will incorporate Clemmons and Gray into draft No.
13, but am uncertain whether I'll instruct.
•
10:
Adopted.
•
11:
We'll see on spoliation.
2. Defendants

•
1:06: Adopted.
•
1:07: Adopted.

quotation is unhelpful.
