No. C 11-03110 WHA

FOR GOOD CAUSE and after a final pretrial conference, the Court issues the
following final pretrial order:
1.

This case shall go to a JURY TRIAL on FEBRUARY 19, 2013, at 7:30 A.M., and

19

shall continue until completed on the schedule discussed at the conference. The issues to be

20

tried shall be those set forth in the joint proposed pretrial order except to the extent modified by

21

order in limine. This final pretrial order supersedes all the complaint, answer and any

22

counterclaims, cross-claims or third-party complaints, i.e., only the issues expressly identified

23

for trial remain in the case.

2.

An order summarizing the rulings on the motions in limine has been filed at

Docket Number 99.
3.

Except for good cause, each party is limited to the witnesses and exhibits

27

disclosed in the joint proposed final pretrial order less any excluded or limited by an order

28

in limine. Materials or witnesses used solely for impeachment need not be disclosed and may
be used, subject to the rules of evidence.

4.

The stipulations of facts set forth in the joint proposed final pretrial order are

approved and binding on all parties.

3

5.

A jury of 8 PERSONS shall be used.

4

6.

Each side shall have 12 HOURS to examine witnesses (counting direct

5

examination, cross-examination, re-direct examination, re-cross examination, etc.).

6

Opening statements and closing arguments shall not count against the limit. Each side shall

7

have 40 MINUTES for opening statements. The time limit for closing arguments will be

8

determined later. If, despite being efficient, non-duplicative, and non-argumentative in the use

9

of the allotted time, one side runs out of time and it would be a miscarriage of justice to hold

that side to the limit, then more time will be allotted.
