Case No. 2:17-cv-00970-KJM-AC

ORDER

TABASSUM SARANI,

Defendant.

16

On June 28, 2019, plaintiff, proceeding pro se, requested a 90-day extension to file

17

a final pretrial status report, explaining he was “hospitalized on 6/7/19 thru 6/20/19.” ECF No. 83.

18

As part of his request, plaintiff also asks the court to clarify what details need to be included in a

19

“final pretrial status report.” The court previously granted the parties an extension until July 10,

20

2019 to file a final pretrial report, ECF No. 82. Regardless, in the interest of fairness, the court

21

further EXTENDS the parties’ deadline 90 days from the July 10 deadline; the new deadline to file

22

a final pretrial report is October 8, 2019. The court anticipates this will be the last extension of this

23

deadline granted.

24

As explained in the court’s order adopting the findings and recommendations, ECF

25

No. 77, each party is required to file a final pretrial status report which must include the following:


26

shall provide a brief statement of the nature of the testimony to be proffered.

undisputed and disputed facts. A party shall not include argument with any point of

13

law.

14



A proposed statement of the case in plain concise language, which will be read to the

15

jury during voir dire and at the beginning of the trial. The purpose of the statement is

16

to inform the jury what the case is about.
