On September 1, 2015, the parties in the above-captioned case filed a stipulation

15

requesting an extension of the deadline to file pretrial documents. On September 4,

16

2015, the court issued an order denying the requested two-week extension, but granting

17

a limited extension, moving the deadline for the joint pretrial statement, trial briefs,

18

motions in limine, deposition designations, witness and exhibit lists, jury instructions, and

19

verdict form from September 10, 2015 to September 14, 2015. See Dkt. 181. The court

20

was clear in stating that “[n]o further modification to this deadline will be considered.” Id.

21

Despite the court’s order, the parties did not comply with the deadline imposed by

22

the court. No verdict form or exhibit list was filed by any party. No jury instructions were

23

filed by defendants. No witness list or trial brief was filed by plaintiffs.

24

The court admonishes the parties for violating the court’s order. The parties may

25

not unilaterally grant themselves the extension that was denied by the court. All

26

documents set forth in section B.3 of the amended case management and pretrial order

27

must be filed today, September 15, 2015, or the parties risk having their papers stricken

28

and disregarded. The court will also consider sanctions for any future late filings.
