This matter is set for a jury trial on April 1, 2019. Accordingly, the parties shall file

a finalized Jury Questionnaire with the Court on or before Wednesday, March 27, 2019.

Additionally, the Court will ask the jurors the attached standard voir dire questions during

18

exception that the Jury Questionnaire shall ask the jurors for their current and former

19

employment to enable prescreening for employment at Defendant Leprino Foods

20

Company, Inc. In addition to prescreening for employment, the Court intends to prescreen

21

the jurors for their availability for trial – namely, whether the jurors can serve on a jury for

22

two weeks. Thus, the parties shall include a question for this purpose in the Jury

23

Questionnaire.

24

Moreover, the Court anticipates that the parties intend to attach their Witness Lists

25

to the Jury Questionnaire to determine whether the jurors are familiar with the potential

26

witnesses in this case. Thus, the parties shall file their final Witness Lists on or before

27

Friday, March 29, 2019. Additionally, the parties shall file their final Exhibit Lists on or
