B. Each side is limited to ten depositions and twenty-five interrogatories, as provided by
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 30 and 33, absent a further court order.
C. If the ADR specified in the previous section is being conducted before the discovery cut-

5

off deadline, counsel must meet and confer in person or by telephone no later than 21 days before

9

discovery informally and expeditiously before ADR.

10

In addition, before the parties participate in the ADR specified in the previous section, each

12

V. MOTIONS

13

The parties must file any motions, oppositions, and reply briefs on the schedule set forth in

14

Civil L. R. 7. The parties also must follow all procedures in Judge Beeler’s standing order.

15

VI. PRETRIAL FILINGS AND PROCEDURES

16

The court’s procedures require the parties to confer in person to resolve disputes, reach

17

stipulations, avoid duplicate and cumulative exhibits and witnesses, and ensure an orderly trial.

18

The following sections address filing deadlines and the procedures that the parties must follow

19

when submitting their pretrial filings and exhibits.

20

A. 30 Days Before Final Pretrial Conference: Serve (But Not File) Motions In Limine.

21

Each motion must be in a separate memorandum entitled “[Party’s Name’s] Motion in Limine

22

[#] to Exclude [Subject],” be limited to circumstances requiring advance ruling, and be no longer

23

than seven pages absent leave of court. Usually five motions in limine are sufficient.

24

B. 23 Days Before Final Pretrial Conference: Serve (But Not File) Oppositions.

25

Each opposition must be in a separate memorandum entitled "[Parties Name’s] Opposition to

26

Motion in Limine [#] to Exclude [Subject]” and be no longer than seven pages absent leave of

27

court. There will be no replies.

28

C. 21 Days Before Final Pretrial Conference. The parties must file the following:
CASE-MANAGEMENT AND PRETRIAL ORDER — No. 16-cv-07051-LB

3

1

1. Motions in Limine. The moving party will collate and file each motion and opposition

2

back-to-back, which means there will be one paired set for each motion in limine on the docket.

3

2. Joint Proposed Pretrial Order (instead of a pretrial conference statement) with the

4

following:

5

(a) a brief description of the claims and defenses to be decided;

6

(b) a statement of the relief sought;

7

(c) all stipulated, undisputed facts;

8

(d) all disputed fact issues to be tried, organized by count and described with the same

9

specificity as any contested element in the jury instructions;
(e) each disputed legal issue with citations but without extended argument;

11
United States District Court
Northern District of California

10

(f) the parties’ stipulations;

12

(g) the parties’ estimates of total trial time; and

13

(h) the status of settlement negotiations and whether further negotiations might be productive.

14

The proposed order must specify which issues are for the court to decide instead of the jury.

15

3. Attachments to Be Appended to the Joint Proposed Order. The filing must be filed as

16

separate attachments to the joint proposed order:

17

(a) Signed Stipulations in a form that can be introduced as evidence at trial;

18

(b) Joint Exhibit List with columns for exhibit number, description and bates range, offered

19

into evidence, admitted into evidence, sponsoring witness, and limits on use (see below regarding

20

numbering and organization of exhibits); and

21

(c) Each party’s separate witness list for case-in-chief witnesses (including those appearing

22

by deposition) with a short summary of the testimony, specifying their non-cumulative testimony,

23

and an hour-and-minute time estimate per witness. Experts and witnesses not included in the

24

witness list may not be used in a party’s case-in-chief.

25

(d) Joint proposed verdict form or separate verdict forms if a joint form is not possible.

26

(e) Joint voir dire questions supplemented by any separate requests.

27

(f) Any proposed jury questionnaire that differs from the court’s standard questionnaire

28

appended at the end of this order.
CASE-MANAGEMENT AND PRETRIAL ORDER — No. 16-cv-07051-LB

4

4. Joint Jury Instructions (Disputed and Undisputed). The instructions must include a

2

table of contents, be arranged in a logical numerical sequence, and be supported by citations (with

3

pin cites) to the authority for the instruction (e.g., to the Ninth Circuit Model Jury Instructions, the

4

California Civil Jury Instructions, and/or case law). If undisputed, an instruction must be labeled

5

“Stipulated Instruction.” If disputed, the parties’ versions must bear the same instruction number,

6

be labeled with the sponsoring party’s name, and be inserted back to back in the logical place in

7

the overall sequence. If the opposing party does not have a counter instruction and instead

8

contends that no instruction should be given, the party should say so in a separate page inserted in

9

lieu of the alternate instruction. If the parties modify a form instruction, they must identify the

10

modification clearly and include the form instruction in the packet. If the parties agree to form

11
United States District Court
Northern District of California

1

preliminary instructions, general instructions, and concluding instructions, they may cite the

12

numbers of the instructions in the current version of the Ninth Circuit Manual of Model Civil Jury

13

Instructions (http://www.ce9.uscourts.gov) but do not need to include them in the packet. The

14

parties must include a short statement of the case to be read to the jury during voir dire as part of

15

the preliminary instructions.

16
17

5. Separate Memoranda on Disputed Jury Instructions. Each party must file a
memorandum of law — organized by instruction number — regarding disputed jury instructions.

18

6. Trial Briefs on any remaining issues.

19

7. Copies of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(3) Disclosures. By designating an

20

exhibit, a party generally waives any objection to it if offered by the other side absent clearly

21

available objections (such as objections under Rules 402 and 403 or admissions by party

22

opponents that would be inadmissible hearsay if offered by the party opponent).

23

8. Chambers Copies of These Materials. The chambers copies of these materials must be

24

submitted in a binder, labeled on the front and spine with the case name and “Trial Submissions,”

25

and have labeled tabs separating the filings to reflect the organization in this section. The court’s

26

standing order requires two chambers copies.

27
28

9. Word Versions Emailed To Chambers. In addition to e-filing and lodging paper copies
see Judge Beeler’s standing order, counsel must email the joint proposed order, the jury
CASE-MANAGEMENT AND PRETRIAL ORDER — No. 16-cv-07051-LB

5

1
2
3
4

instructions, and the verdict form in Word to [e-mail].
D. 14 Days Before Pretrial Conference. The parties must comply with the procedures in
sections E through G (below) and then lodge the following:
1. Lodge Joint Sets of Trial Exhibits with Deputy Clerk. The parties must prepare a joint,

5

single set of all trial exhibits. The exhibits must be in three-ring binders, and each exhibit must be

6

tagged and separated by a label divider identifying the exhibit number. Spine labels must identify

7

the exhibits in a particular binder. The exhibit binders must be marked “Original” and will be the

8

official record both at trial with the witnesses and on appeal. The parties also must lodge a second

9

copy of the exhibits labeled “Chambers Copy.” Lodge the exhibits with the deputy clerk, Roger

10

Moua. Include (and e-file) any updated exhibit list in each binder.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

2. Copies of Deposition Designations For Witnesses Appearing Only By Designation.

12

3. Copies of Designation of Interrogatories and Admissions.

13

4. Objections to Exhibits and Use of Depositions as set forth in Federal Rule of Civil

14
15

Procedure 26(a)(3)(B). Objections not raised are waived.
5. Chambers Copies. The chambers copies of these materials must be submitted in a binder,

16

labeled on the front and spine with the case name and a description of the contents, and have

17

labeled tabs separating the filings to reflect the organization in this section.

18

E. Other Procedures Regarding Exhibit Numbering and Organization.

19

1. Meet and Confer Regarding Exhibit Numbers. Before submitting exhibit lists and

20

binders, counsel must meet and confer to establish usable numbering conventions and eliminate

21

duplicate exhibits. Use numbers only, and if possible, exhibit numbers should be the same

22

numbers used in depositions. Otherwise, the deposition transcript must be conformed to the new

23

exhibit number to avoid jury confusion and to ensure that every exhibit has a unique number.

24

Blocks of numbers should be assigned to fit the needs of the case: e.g., Plaintiff has 1 to 99,

25

Defendant A has 100 to 199, Defendant B has 200 to 299, et cetera. All exhibits must be marked

26

“Trial Exhibit No.,” not Plaintiff’s Exhibit or Defendant’s Exhibit. A single exhibit must be

27

marked just once.

28

2. Exhibit Tags and Binders. The exhibit tag must be in the following form and must be
CASE-MANAGEMENT AND PRETRIAL ORDER — No. 16-cv-07051-LB

6

1

affixed on or near the lower right-hand corner if possible and on the back if it is not. Counsel must

2

fill in the tag but leave the last two spaces blank.

F. Deposition Designation For Witnesses Appearing By Deposition. These procedures
10
apply only to deposition designation for witnesses who appear by deposition and do not apply to
11
United States District Court
Northern District of California

reading depositions of live witnesses into the record while the witnesses are testifying.
12
1. Designating Counsel. To designate deposition testimony, counsel must photocopy the
13
cover page, the page where the witness is sworn, and each page with any proffered testimony
14
(with lines through testimony not proffered). Counsel must put lines through objections or
15
colloquy unless they are needed to understand the question. Any corrections (including
16
conforming exhibit numbers to trial exhibit numbers) must be done by hand. The finished packet
17
must be the script that allows smooth presentation of the witness, the oath, and the testimony. The
18
packet must be provided to the other parties at least 30 days before the pretrial conference. For
19
voluminous designations, the court requires advance notice by designating counsel because more
20
lead time is required. Counsel must be reasonable.
21
2. Reviewing Counsel. Reviewing parties must promptly review the packet and highlight in
22
yellow any passages objected to and write in the margin the legal basis for the objections. If a
23
completeness objection is made, the objecting party must insert the additional passages needed to
24
cure the completeness objection. A completeness objection generally should be made only if a few
25
extra lines will cure the problem. Such additions must be highlighted in blue, and an explanation
26
for the inclusion must be legibly handwritten in the margin. Counsel must line out any irrelevant
27
portions of the additional pages. Reviewing counsel must return the packets to the proffering party
28
CASE-MANAGEMENT AND PRETRIAL ORDER — No. 16-cv-07051-LB

7

3

to consider whether to accept the adjustments.
3. Counsel To Meet and Confer Regarding Adjustments. Counsel must meet and confer to
address reviewing counsel’s comments and any other issues.

4

4. Designating Counsel To Assemble Final Packet. Counsel for the proffering party must

5

collate and assemble a final packet that covers all remaining issues and provide it to the court 14

6

days before the pretrial conference (as set forth above). Any objections must be highlighted and

7

annotated as described in the preceding paragraphs. If exhibits are needed to resolve the

8

objections, designating counsel must include copies, with the relevant passages highlighted and

9

tagged. The court will read the packet and make its rulings in the margins in a distinctive manner.

10

5. Counter-Designations. The reviewing party must make any counter-designations by

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

providing a packet with the counter-designated passages to the original designating counsel at the

12

same time as the reviewing party returns its objections to designating counsel. The original

13

designating counsel must supply any objections in the manner described in this section.

14

6. Video Depositions. The parties must follow the same procedures to facilitate ruling on

15

objections. The videos must omit dead time and objections and colloquy not necessary to

16

understand the answers.

17

G. Requests For Admissions And Interrogatories. Counsel must designate responses to

18

requests for admissions and interrogatory answers in the same manner and under the same

19

timetable as deposition designations.

20

VII. PRETRIAL CONFERENCE

21
22

25

Lead counsel for each party must attend.
VIII. PRETRIAL ARRANGEMENTS
A. Daily or Real-Time Reporting. Please make arrangements ten days before the trial date
with Debra Campbell, Supervisor of the Court Reporting Services, at 415-522-2079.
B. Electronic Presentation of Evidence. The court provides no equipment other than an

26

easel and a white board. If counsel will use electronic equipment such as computers, projectors,

27

and screens, the parties must share equipment to the extent possible. Extension cords must be

28

taped to the carpet for safety. The United States Marshal requires a court order to allow equipment

into the courthouse. Please work with Roger Moua (415-522-3140) on all courtroom layout issues.

IX. TRIAL AND TRIAL PROCEDURES

3

A. Schedule. The trial day is 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. (or slightly longer to finish a witness),

4

Monday through Friday, with one fifteen-minute break at 10:45 a.m. Counsel must arrive at 8:15

5

a.m. or earlier if any matters must be addressed outside of the jury’s presence.

6
7
8
9
10

B. Jury Selection. There are no alternate jurors in civil cases, and the jury will be selected as
follows.
The attached questionnaire will be given to the potential jurors, and copies of the responses
will be given to counsel at the beginning of voir dire.
The court’s jury selection procedures vary depending on the size of the ultimate jury.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

Assuming a final jury of 8 and 6 peremptory challenges, the court will call 18 to 20 jurors to fill

12

the jury box and a row in front of the bar. The jurors will be given numbers 1 through 18. The

13

remaining jurors will be seated in the public benches. The court will generally consider hardship

14

excuses at this point. The court then will question the 18 jurors and will allow counsel limited voir

15

dire. The court will address challenges for cause outside of the jurors’ presence, determine

16

whether to fill any empty seats, and if so, question the new jurors and consider any additional

17

challenges for cause. After a short recess, each side will exercise its peremptory challenges out of

18

the presence of the jurors. Of the remaining jurors, the eight (or other number of) jurors with the

19

lowest numbers will be the final jury.

20

The court will adjust the starting numbers depending on the number of jurors to be seated and

21

the number of peremptory challenges allowed. Also, the court may alter these procedures in its

22

discretion.

23
24
25

Once the jury is selected, the jurors’ names will be read, and they will be seated in the jury box
and sworn.
C. Jury Note Taking. Jurors may take notes. Note pads will be distributed at the beginning of

26

each trial and collected at the end of the day and locked in the jury room. The court will instruct

27

the jury on the use of notes in its preliminary and final jury instructions.

28

D. Time Limits. Ordinarily, the court sets time limits for opening statements, witness
CASE-MANAGEMENT AND PRETRIAL ORDER — No. 16-cv-07051-LB

9

1

examinations (direct, cross, or re-direct), and closing arguments at the final pretrial conference.

2

All of your examination time for all witnesses must fit within your witness time limits. The time

3

taken at a side bar or on objections will be charged to the examining party unless otherwise

4

ordered.

5

E. Opening Statements. Counsel must meet and confer about, and exchange, any visuals,

6

graphics, or exhibits to be used in the opening statements, allowing for time to work out objections

7

and any reasonable revisions. Opening statements begin after the jury is sworn and will be limited

8

to a predetermined time.

9

F. Advance Notice of Witness Order of Proof. By 2:00 p.m., counsel must give written
notice of the order of witnesses for the next court day and the exhibits (including merely

11
United States District Court
Northern District of California

10

illustrative exhibits) to be used on direct examination (other than for true impeachment of a

12

witness). The parties must notify the court by the end of the day of any objections to the exhibits,

13

and the court will schedule a conference that afternoon or the following morning to resolve the

14

dispute. The court encourages two days’ notice. If two days’ notice is given, then by 2:00 p.m. on

15

the calendar day immediately preceding the testimony, opposing counsel must provide any

16

objections to the exhibits and must provide a list of all exhibits to be used with the same witness

17

on cross-examination (other than for impeachment).

18

G. Witness Examinations. Generally there must be only one examining lawyer per witness

19

per party, and the examining lawyer must make any objections to the opposing counsel’s

20

examination. The parties must have witnesses ready to testify so that trial gaps are avoided. Gaps

21

may be construed as resting one’s case. In cases with multiple parties, counsel must coordinate

22

cross-examination to avoid duplication of testimony. When multiple parties are on one side, only

23

one counsel may cover a subject matter. Counsel must place copies of exhibits to be used by a

24

witness on the witness stand before the witness testifies.

25

Witnesses (except named parties) are excluded from the courtroom except when they are

26

testifying. If a testifying witness has not been excused before a recess, that witness must be seated

27

back on the stand when the court reconvenes. If a new witness is ready to be called immediately

28

after a recess, the witness must be in the first row after the recess.
CASE-MANAGEMENT AND PRETRIAL ORDER — No. 16-cv-07051-LB

10

1
2
3

The appropriate party or the court may read into the record the undisputed facts at appropriate
points in the trial.
H. Expert Testimony. Direct expert testimony is limited to matters disclosed in the expert’s

4

reports. Omitted material ordinarily may not be added on direct examination. Illustrative

5

animations, diagrams, charts, and models may be used on direct examination only if they were part

6

of the expert report, except that an expert may use simple drawings (such as those drawn by the

7

witness at trial) that plainly illustrate a report’s contents. If cross-examination fairly opens the

8

door, however, an expert may go beyond the written report on cross-examination and/or re-direct

9

examination. By written stipulation, all parties may relax these requirements. As to damages
studies, the cut-off for past damages is the date of the expert report (or an earlier date selected or

11
United States District Court
Northern District of California

10

used by the expert). Experts may project future damages after this cut-off date if they can meet

12

substantive standards for future damages. With timely leave of court or by written stipulation, the

13

experts may update their reports (or provide supplemental reports) to a date closer to the time of

14

trial.

15

I. Use of Depositions To Impeach A Trial Witness. The following procedures apply.

16

1. On the first day of trial, counsel must bring the original and clean copies of the depositions

17

to be used at trial. If counsel might use a deposition against a witness, counsel must provide the

18

court with a copy at the outset of the examination. Opposing counsel must have copies of witness

19

depositions immediately available.

20

2. Counsel must seek permission from the court before reading a passage into the record. For

21

example, counsel should state, “I wish to read page 210, lines 1 to 10, from the witness’s

22

deposition.” Counsel must pause briefly to allow any objection.

23

3. The first time counsel reads a deposition, counsel must state the deponent’s name, the name

24

of the lawyer asking the question, and whether the deposition was a Federal Rule of Civil

25

Procedure 30(b)(6) deposition. The first time a deposition is read, the court will instruct the jury

26

about depositions.

27

4. When reading the passage, counsel must employ the following technique. Counsel must

28

state, “question” and then read the question exactly, and then state, “answer” and read the answer
CASE-MANAGEMENT AND PRETRIAL ORDER — No. 16-cv-07051-LB

11

1

exactly. This will allow the jury and court reporter to follow who said what at the deposition.

2

Opposing counsel may ask to read additional testimony necessary to complete the context. It is not

3

necessary to ask, “didn't you say XYZ in your deposition” to lay a foundation.

4

J. Use of Depositions of Party-Deponents. Subject to Rule 403, a party’s depositions may be

5

used for “any purpose” and may be read into the record whether or not they contradict (and

6

regardless of who is on the stand). For example, a short party deposition excerpt may be used as

7

foundation for questions for a different witness on the stand.

8
9

K. Use of Depositions For Witnesses Appearing Only By Deposition. When the packet
(see above for procedures to assemble deposition packets) is read to the jury, the examiner must
read the questions (and any relevant colloquy) from the lectern while a colleague sits in the

11
United States District Court
Northern District of California

10

witness stand and reads the answers. While reading the deposition, the reader and “witness” must

12

refrain from undue emphasis or dramatization. If a read-in is short, a single attorney can read it all,

13

being careful to say “question” and “answer” for the court reporter’s and jury’s comprehension.

14

Exhibits may be projected onto the screen as they are referenced. Court reporters do not transcribe

15

video excerpts so counsel must file an exact copy of what was shown.

16

L. Exhibits. The parties must obtain prior permission from the court for jury notebooks. At

17

the end of each day, counsel must confer with each other and with the deputy clerk to confirm

18

what exhibits are in evidence and any limitations on their use. Counsel must bring any differences

19

to the court’s attention. Similarly, before closing argument, counsel must confer with each other

20

and the deputy clerk to finalize the exhibits and prepare any final exhibit list. That list may include

21

a brief non-argumentative description of the exhibit to help the jury access the exhibits.

22
23

M. Stipulations. Counsel must read all stipulations to the jury for them to be part of the
record.

24

N. Objections. Counsel must stand when making objections, give only the legal basis

25

(“objection, calls for speculation” or “objection, hearsay”), and refrain from making speeches.

26

O. Side Bar Conferences are discouraged. If matters must be discussed outside the jury’s

27

presence, counsel should raise them at the beginning or end of the day or while the jury is on

28

break.
