On March 29, 2019, the Court issued its Supplemental Pretrial Scheduling Order

2

(“Supplemental PTSO”) (ECF No. 233), which detailed, in part, that: (1) the Final Pretrial

3

Conference (“FPTC”) is set for December 5, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. (id. at 1); and (2)

4

regarding Motions in Limine, that, “[a]ny evidentiary or procedural motions are to be filed

5

in one document by November 8, 2019. Oppositions must be filed in one document by

6

November 22, 2019, and any reply must be filed in one document by November 29,

7

2019.” Id. at 5 (emphasis in original).

8

Subsequently, the SCC Defendants, through their attorney of record, filed

9

Objections to the Supplemental PTSO. ECF No. 234. The Objection seeks clarification

10

on the Court’s Order that all motions in limine, to include oppositions thereto, be filed “in

11

one document.” Id. at 2. To clarify the requirement that all motions in limine, oppositions

12

thereto, and replies in support of, be filed in “one” document, parties filing multiple

13

motions in limine must submit their motions and the supporting exhibits in one document

14

for the Court. Responses to motions in limine must also be submitted in one document.

15

Each side is not required to jointly file their motions, oppositions, and replies with the

16

other side.2

permitted to appear by telephone at the December 5, 2019 FPTC. ECF No. 234, at 2. According to the
