No. C 10-03561 WHA

The filings described in paragraph two of the Guidelines for Trial and Final Pretrial

12

Conference in Civil Jury Cases Before the Honorable William Alsup shall be due on

13

OCTOBER 7, 2011, rather than October 10. The briefing schedule for motions in limine set forth

14

in paragraph 2(f) of the Guidelines is also advanced by three days. This adjustment is necessary

15

because the Columbus Day holiday falls on the date when pretrial filings otherwise would be due.

16

No more than five motions in limine may be filed by each side. The motions in limine

17

must be directed at excluding specific items of evidence; categorical motions and disguised

18

summary judgment motions are highly disfavored. Motions in limine made at this stage must be

19

ripe, not premature or dependent upon the way evidence develops at trial.

20

The opening memoranda for all five motions in limine by a party may not exceed a

21

combined total of fifty pages, but counsel may allocate the fifty pages among the five motions in

22

any way desired. The supporting paperwork for all five motions may not exceed a combined total

23

of two hundred pages, but counsel may allocate the two hundred pages among the five motions in

24

any way desired. Oppositions to motions in limine are subject to the same length requirements

25

and allocation flexibility. There will be no replies.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
