ORDER

vs.
H. HER, et al.,

14
15

/

16

On November 20, 2012, the undersigned issued the pretrial order. On February

17

25, 2013, plaintiff filed an untimely motion for modification of the pretrial order, and a motion

18

for reconsideration of the pretrial order, claiming that he inadvertently omitted exhibits from the

19

exhibit list contained in the pretrial order. Defendants have not filed an opposition.

20
21
22

At the January 14, 2013 trial confirmation hearing, jury trial was continued to July
9, 2013.
Plaintiff claims he wishes to amend the exhibit list exchanged at the trial

23

confirmation hearing, for a total of 36 exhibits. (Dkt. No. 212 at 3.) However, if the court added

24

the items numbered 1 through 14 listed in the motion for modification, to the 19 exhibits listed in

25

the pretrial order, the number of exhibits does not total 36. The motion is similarly confusing

26

because plaintiff included a separate list of exhibits after his conclusion, marked “Notes,” which
1

1

lists eight exhibits, some of which are included in the pretrial order, and some of which are not.

2

(Dkt. No. 212 at 7.) It appears that plaintiff wishes to add his exhibits numbered 37 - 43, but

3

adding seven exhibits to the 19 listed, also does not total 36. Before the court can determine

4

whether plaintiff should be allowed to amend his exhibit list, the court must have one, complete

5

exhibit list to present to the district court, which the court and the parties will use at trial. This

6

list must be a simple description of the item, without explanation of how it was previously filed

7

with the court, or why plaintiff now seeks to have it admitted. Plaintiff may, if he wishes,

8

include a parenthetical number referencing plaintiff’s prior numbering sequence, for example,

9

“(PX 23)."1 But plaintiff should retain the numbering sequence set forth in the pretrial order.

10

To assist plaintiff in this regard, the undersigned appended the exhibit list and list

11

of discovery documents from the pretrial order to this order. Plaintiff should simply cross out

12

any items he does not wish to admit (if any), and insert items he now wishes to add. Plaintiff

13

should follow the identification pattern used by the court.

14

Plaintiff does not need to file copies of the exhibits. No further argument or

15

explanation is required. Once plaintiff files the complete lists, defendants are granted seven days

16

in which to file an opposition, if any, to plaintiff’s motion to amend his exhibit list.

17

Finally, on February 26, 2013, plaintiff filed a request for clarification as to

18

whether he is allowed to subpoena both Michael Soares and Dr. A. Traquina as witnesses for

19

trial. As noted in the pretrial order, both Michael Soares and Dr. Traquina are listed as witnesses

20

for plaintiff. Therefore, plaintiff is entitled to subpoena both witnesses, which is why the court

21

clerk issued plaintiff two subpoena forms.

The court has added this parenthetical to a few of the exhibits in the list below.
2

1

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

2

1. Within thirty days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall complete the

3

attached notice of submission of documents form, along with the attached exhibit list and list of

4

discovery documents, and file it with the court; and

5

2. Seven days thereafter, defendants may file objections, if any, to plaintiff’s

6

motion to amend his exhibit list.
