ORDER RE LATE FILINGS

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS, et al.,

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Defendants.

14

The court has received a number of late pretrial filings from plaintiffs, without any

15

accompanying declaration or affidavit attesting to any technical failures (as required by

16

Civil Local Rule 5-1(e)(5)), or any other request to continue the applicable deadlines.

17

Pursuant to the pretrial order issued in this case on October 20, 2014 (Dkt. 752), each

18

party’s exhibit list and witness list were due on July 20, 2015. Plaintiffs filed both

19

documents after midnight on July 20, 2015, in violation of Civil Local Rule 5-1(e)(4).

20

Plaintiffs then compounded their tardiness, filing an amended witness list even further

21

past midnight (again, without any explanation for the late filing or request to file late), and

22

then waiting until after the close of business the next day to file an amended exhibit list

23

(again, without any explanation for the late filing or request to file late).

24

Plaintiffs are admonished to abide by all deadlines set in this case, and the court

25

reminds both parties that motions in limine are due on July 23, 2015, and that

26

oppositions to the motions in limine are due on August 3, 2015. Any late filings will be

27

stricken and disregarded, absent a declaration/affidavit attesting to a technical failure.
