FOR GOOD CAUSE and after a final pretrial conference, the following constitutes the
final pretrial order:

19

1.

As discussed at the final pretrial conference, the November 18, 2013 trial date is

20

hereby VACATED.

21

2.

This case shall go to a JURY TRIAL on DECEMBER 13, 2013, at 7:30 AM, and

22

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

23

tried shall be those set forth in the joint proposed pretrial order and as discussed at the final

24

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

25

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

26

for trial remain in the case.

27
28

3.

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

disclosed in the joint proposed final pretrial order. 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 8 HOURS to examine witnesses (counting direct

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

6

Opening statements and closing arguments shall not count against the limit. If, despite being

7

efficient, non-duplicative, and non-argumentative in the use of the allotted time, one side runs

8

out of time and it would be a miscarriage of justice to hold that side to the limit, then more time

9

will be allotted.

10

7.

The parties shall follow the Court's current Guidelines for Trial and
