The

FINAL PRETRIAL CONFERENCE
2
The final pretrial conference is set for November 4, 2013, at
3
2:30 p.m. The parties are cautioned that the lead attorney who WILL TRY
4
THE CASE for each party shall attend the final pretrial conference. In
5
addition, all persons representing themselves and appearing in propria
6
persona must attend the pretrial conference.
7
The parties are warned that non-trial worthy issues could be
8
eliminated sua sponte “[i]f the pretrial conference discloses that no
9
material facts are in dispute and that the undisputed facts entitle one
10
of the parties to judgment as a matter of law.” Portsmouth Square v.
11
S’holders Protective Comm., 770 F.2d 866, 869 (9th Cir. 1985).
12
The parties shall file a JOINT pretrial statement no later
13
than seven (7) calendar days prior to the final pretrial conference. The
14
joint pretrial statement shall address the applicable portions of Local
15
Rule 281(b), and shall set forth each theory of liability (“claim”) and
16
affirmative defense which remains to be tried, and the ultimate facts on
17
which each theory/defense is based. Furthermore, each party shall
18
estimate the length of trial.2 The Court uses the parties’ joint pretrial
19
statement to prepare its final pretrial order and could issue the final
20
pretrial order without holding the scheduled final pretrial conference.
21
See Mizwicki v. Helwig, 196 F.3d 828, 833 (7th Cir. 1999)(“There is no
22
requirement that the court hold a pretrial conference.”).

If
feasible,

the
time
of
filing
the
joint
pretrial
24
statement counsel shall also email it in a format compatible with
25
WordPerfect to: geborders@caed.uscourts.gov.

If a trial by jury has been preserved, the joint pretrial
