proposed jury instructions should have been lodged no later than seven days before the
pretrial conference. Memoranda of contentions of fact and law, witness lists, and a joint
exhibit list were to be filed no later than 21 days before the pretrial conference. As of this
date, Plaintiff has filed no such documents.
The pretrial conference and trial dates are vacated.
Plaintiff is ordered to show cause on December 19, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. why this

Court’s orders. Plaintiff may show cause by submitting a proposed pretrial conference
order, memorandum of contentions of fact and law, witness and exhibit lists, and jury
instructions no later than December 14, 2011. If Plaintiff submits documents that comply
with this Court’s orders and the Local Rules, a pretrial conference will be held on
December 19 at 3:00 p.m. If Plaintiff fails to submit such documents and fails to show
cause why this action should not be dismissed, the action will be dismissed with
prejudice.
Mandatory paper copies of all documents are to be submitted to chambers.
