ORDER REQUIRING COMPLIANCE
WITH CASE MANAGEMENT AND
PRETRIAL ORDER RE JOINT
FILINGS

12
The case management and pretrial order entered in this action states that by March 29,

13
14

2016, the parties were to:
[S]ubmit proposed jury instructions jointly. If there are any instructions on which the parties
cannot agree, those instructions may be submitted separately. The parties shall submit a jointly
prepared proposed form of verdict, or, if the parties cannot agree, their respective proposals[.]

15
16
17

(Dkt. No. 28 at 5 ¶ 5.c.(4) (emphasis in original).)
On March 29, 2016, Defendant filed its own proposed verdict form and jury instructions

18
19

because Plaintiff's counsel had apparently not responded to emails seeking Plaintiff's input. (See Dkt.

20

Nos. 70, 71.) Plaintiff is ordered to meet and confer with Defendant to prepare and file joint jury

21

instructions and a joint proposed form of verdict, which shall be filed by no later than March 31, 2016

22

at noon. If joint filings are not submitted by that deadline, Plaintiff will be deemed to have waived

23

any objections to Defendant's jury instructions and to Defendant's proposed form of verdict.
The parties are reminded that the Court requires strict adherence to the case management and

24
25

pretrial order. Any untimely filings will, therefore, be stricken.
