TRIAL

L. MICHAEL CLARK, et al.,

Re: Dkt. Nos. 601, 602

Defendants.

The parties were unable to agree on any of the dates the court offered to hold the final

18

pretrial conference in this matter. Accordingly, the final pretrial conference for plaintiffs’ claims

19

against defendant Miller will be held on Tuesday, July 19, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom 6.

20

Furthermore, to avoid any risk that a separate trial scheduled the week of July 18, 2016 will

21

conflict with the instant case and to allow the parties adequate time to prepare, the jury trial on

22

plaintiffs’ claims against defendant Miller will begin on Tuesday, August 2, 2016 at 8:30 a.m.

23

The court is scheduling the pretrial conference a month in advance to allow the parties sufficient

24

time to clear any conflicts they have in their schedules.

25

The court will set time limits for trial at the pretrial conference. For planning purposes, the

26

court anticipates that jury selection will take 2-3 hours (including 10 minutes per side for

27

questions to the jury). The court further anticipates allowing approximately 8 hours of trial time

per side, not including jury selection or closing arguments.
The court is aware of plaintiffs’ concern with having adequate time to prepare between the

3

pretrial conference and trial. The court will endeavor to share its tentative rulings on motions in

4

limine and other pertinent issues with the parties by the time of the pretrial conference, if not

5

beforehand. To the extent possible, the parties should meet and confer and attempt to resolve any

6

logistical issues in advance of the pretrial conference. In particular, by June 30, 2016, the parties

7

shall alert the court as to which issues enumerated on pages 6 and 7 of plaintiffs’ amended joint

8

pretrial statement, Dkt. No. 611, will still require resolution by the court.
