and first and second supplemental objections to the tentative pretrial order. (See Doc. Nos. 240 at

A.

The court does not allow undisclosed witnesses to be called for any purpose,

14

including impeachment or rebuttal, unless they meet the following criteria:2

15

(1)

The party offering the witness demonstrates that the witness is for the

16

purpose of rebutting evidence that could not be reasonably anticipated at

Plaintiff objects to this court’s criteria for impeachment witnesses (and exhibits), arguing it is
contrary to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(3) and “more prejudicial to Plaintiff than it is to
Defendant.” (Doc. Nos. 241 at 2; 244 at 2; 246 at 2.) Instead of identifying the prejudice she
supposedly faces, plaintiff merely states that she “will further brief this issue as appropriate.”
(Id.) Plaintiff’s objection in this regard is overruled. Rule 26(a)(3) requires certain pretrial
disclosures of evidence that may be presented at trial “other than solely for impeachment” and
requires that “these disclosures must be made at least 30 days before trial” unless “the court
orders otherwise.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(3)(A)–(B). Not only has the court ordered otherwise
here, but also the advisory committee notes on Rule 26 explicitly clarify that “disclosure of
[impeachment] evidence—as well as other items relating to conduct of trial—may be required by
local rule or a pretrial order.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(3), Adv. Comm. Notes, 1993 Amend.
Plaintiff’s mere assertion that she faces some unidentified or unknown prejudice is insufficient to
overcome this court’s strong desire—as reflected in its pretrial orders—to avoid the presentation
of surprise witnesses and exhibits at trial. See L. Co. v. Mohawk Const. & Supply Co., 577 F.3d
1164, 1171 (10th Cir. 2009) (“The primary purpose of pretrial orders is to avoid surprise.”).

The witness was discovered after the pretrial conference and the proffering
party makes the showing required in paragraph B, below.

3

B.

Upon the post pretrial discovery of any witness a party wishes to present at trial,

4

the party shall promptly inform the court and opposing parties of the existence of

5

the unlisted witnesses by filing a notice on the docket so the court may consider

6

whether the witnesses shall be permitted to testify at trial. The witnesses will not

7

be permitted unless:

8

(1)

9

The witness could not reasonably have been discovered prior to the
discovery cutoff;

10

(2)

11

The court and opposing parties were promptly notified upon discovery of
the witness;

12

(3)

If time permitted, the party proffered the witness for deposition; and

13

(4)

If time did not permit, a reasonable summary of the witness’s testimony

was provided to opposing parties.

At the pretrial conference and in subsequent minute orders, the court has directed the parties to
specify in greater detail the items on their exhibits list. (See Doc. Nos. 242, 245.) Following
three rounds of objections, (see Doc. Nos. 240, 241, 243, 244, 246, 247), defendant and plaintiff
have largely complied with this directive. However, in response to the court’s specific directive
that plaintiff either remove, or specify with greater detail, two generic items appearing on her
exhibits list—i.e., “any docket document in this case” and “all ESI . . . in the possession, custody
or control of the Defendant”—plaintiff has merely stated that she “objects,” without stating any
basis for the objection. (Doc. No. 246 at 2.) Plaintiff also states that she “reserves the right to
address this and other issues with the court pretrial.” (Id.) Plaintiff’s objection in this regard is
overruled. Plaintiff’s attempt to reserve her rights is also not well-taken as she has had several
opportunities to address this issue, including at the final pretrial conference and in her response to
the court’s minute orders directing that further specificity as to her plaintiff’s exhibits be
provided. Plaintiff is remined that under Rule 16, “[t]his order controls the course of the action
unless the court modifies it.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(d); see also United States v. First Nat’l Bank of
Circle, 652 F.2d 882, 886 & n.1 (9th Cir. 1981) (“[A] party [may not] offer evidence or advance
theories at the trial which are not included in the [pretrial] order or which contradict its terms.”).
As such, if plaintiff seeks to admit new exhibits not listed in Attachment C, she will need to either
adhere to the procedures set forth in this final pretrial order (if applicable), or seek modification
of this order, which a court may only do “to prevent manifest injustice.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(e).
9

1

Attachment D. No exhibit shall be marked with or entered into evidence under multiple exhibit

2

numbers, and the parties are hereby directed to meet and confer for the purpose of designating

3

joint exhibits and to provide a list of joint exhibits. After meeting and conferring, the parties

4

confirmed that there are no joint exhibits in this case. (See Doc. No. 247 at 3.) Plaintiff’s

5

exhibits shall be listed numerically, and defendants’ exhibits shall be listed alphabetically.

6

The parties must prepare three (3) separate exhibit binders for use by the court at trial,

7

with a side tab identifying each exhibit in accordance with the specifications above. Each binder

8

shall have an identification label on the front and spine. The parties must exchange exhibits no

9

later than 28 days before trial. Any objections to exhibits are due no later than 14 days before

10

trial. The final exhibits are due the Thursday before the trial date. In making any objection,

11

the party is to set forth the grounds for the objection. As to each exhibit which is not objected to,

12

no further foundation will be required for it to be received into evidence, if offered.

13
14

The court does not allow the use of undisclosed exhibits for any purpose, including
impeachment or rebuttal, unless they meet the following criteria:4

15

A.

The court will not admit exhibits other than those identified on the exhibit lists

16

referenced above unless:

17

(1)

The party proffering the exhibit demonstrates that the exhibit is for the

18

purpose of rebutting evidence that could not have been reasonably

19

anticipated, or

20

(2)

21

The exhibit was discovered after the issuance of this order and the
proffering party makes the showing required in paragraph B, below.

22

B.

Upon the discovery of exhibits after the discovery cutoff, a party shall promptly

23

inform the court and opposing parties of the existence of such exhibits by filing a

24

notice on the docket so that the court may consider their admissibility at trial. The

25

exhibits will not be received unless the proffering party demonstrates:

26
27
28

Plaintiff makes the same objection to this court’s criteria regarding impeachment exhibits as she
has raised regarding impeachment witnesses. (Doc. No. 241 at 2.) Plaintiff’s objection is
overruled for the same reasons provided in footnote 3 of this order.
10

(1)

The exhibits could not reasonably have been discovered earlier;

(2)

The court and the opposing parties were promptly informed of their

existence;

4

The proffering party forwarded a copy of the exhibits (if physically

5

possible) to the opposing party. If the exhibits may not be copied the
