The parties shall file a joint pretrial statement that conforms to the requirements of Local

20

Rule 281(b). Where the parties are unable to agree as to what factual issues are properly before

21

the court for trial, they should nevertheless list in the section on “DISPUTED FACTUAL

22

ISSUES” all issues asserted by any of the parties and explain by parenthetical the controversy

23

concerning each issue. The parties should keep in mind that, in general, each fact should relate or

24

correspond to an element of the relevant cause of action. The parties should also keep in mind

25

that the purpose of listing the disputed factual issues is to apprise the court and all parties about

26

the precise issues that will be litigated at trial. The court is not interested in a listing of all

27

evidentiary facts underlying the issues that are in dispute.
