Based upon the stipulation of counsel, the Court ORDERS:

19

1.

The pretrial conference is CONTINUED to July 7, 2017 at 8:30 a.m.;

20

2.

In advance of the pretrial conference, the Court sets the following deadlines:
a.

21
22

No later than June 30, 2017, the parties SHALL file a joint pretrial

conference statement addressing the requirements of Local Rule 281(b);
b.

23

No later than June 26, 2015, the parties SHALL exchange exhibit lists

24

via e-mail or fax. A copy of any exhibit not previously disclosed, SHALL be provided with the

25

exhibit list;

26

c.

27

via e-mail or fax;

28

d.

No later than June 26, 2015, the parties SHALL exchange witness lists

Any party may file motions in limine. The purpose of a motion in limine

1

is to establish in advance of the trial that certain evidence should not be offered at trial.

2

“Although the Federal Rules of Evidence do not explicitly authorize in limine rulings, the

3

practice has developed pursuant to the district court’s inherent authority to manage the course of

4

trials.” Luce v. United States, 469 U.S. 38, 40 n. 2 (1984); Jonasson v. Lutheran Child and

5

Family Services, 115 F. 3d 436, 440 (7th Cir. 1997). The Court will grant a motion in limine,

6

and thereby bar use of the evidence in question, only if the moving party establishes that the

7

evidence clearly is not admissible for any valid purpose. Id.

8

Any motions in limine must be filed with the Court no later than July 14, 2017. The

9

motion must clearly identify the nature of the evidence that the moving party seeks to prohibit

10

the other side from offering at trial. Any opposition to the motion must be served on the other

11

party, and filed with the Court by July 28, 2017. No replies are authorized. The Court sets a

12

hearing on the motions in limine on August 4, 2017, at 9:30 a.m. Counsel may appear by

13

teleconference by dialing [phone] and entering Access Code 1652736 provided they

14

provide notice of their intent to appear by telephone to [e-mail] at least five

15

days in advance of the hearing.

16

In advance of filing any motion in limine, counsel SHALL meet and confer to determine

17

whether they can resolve any disputes and avoid filing motions in limine. Along with their

18

motions in limine, the parties SHALL file a certification demonstrating counsel have in

19

good faith met and conferred and attempted to resolve the dispute. Failure to provide the

20

certification may result in the Court refusing to entertain the motion;

21

e.

The parties SHALL serve, via e-mail or fax, their proposed jury

22

instructions in accordance with Local Rule 163 and their proposed verdict form on one another

23

no later than August 4, 2017. The parties shall conduct a conference to address their proposed

24

jury instructions and verdict form no later than July 21, 2017. At the conference, the parties

25

SHALL attempt to reach agreement on jury instructions and verdict form for use at trial.
