United States District Court
Northern District of California
11
On June 13, 2016, the parties in this case appeared for a second pre-trial conference.
12
13
During the conference, the Court discussed with counsel the admissibility of certain
14
evidence Plaintiff’s counsel intended to offer at trial. Based on the discussion, the Court
15
ruled that the evidence in question would not be admissible at trial. Plaintiff’s counsel
16
attempted to re-argue the admissibility of the evidence, but the Court made clear that its
17
ruling was final, and that the Court would not argue with counsel on the matter. The Court
18
confirmed that Plaintiff’s counsel heard and understood its ruling, and stated that the Court
19
and counsel would move on.
20
Despite the Court’s clear statement that it would not hear argument on the matter,
21
Plaintiff’s counsel began to speak, in order to re-argue the admissibility of the evidence.
22
The Court stated that it would have a hearing on whether to hold Plaintiff’s counsel in
23
contempt.
