ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE:
JOINT TRIAL READINESS BINDER

v.

Case No.15-cv-04066-NC

EXPANDI, INC., et al.,
Defendants.

The Court has received the parties’ separate trial binder submissions. From these

16
17

submissions, it is unclear which version is the most updated, and whether the parties

18

followed the Court’s instructions to meet and confer. The parties are reminded that the

19

pretrial preparation order required a joint trial binder, and for the parties to jointly propose

20

several categories of documents, such as jury instructions. Additionally, no trial binder has

21

been filed on ECF by the 12:00 p.m. deadline. Finally, defendants have provided the

22

Court with an exhibit list, but not with the exhibits.

23

Thus, the Court orders the following:

24

1. The parties must file the contents of their trial binders (except not the trial
exhibits) on ECF immediately.

25

2. Defendants must provide 2 copies of their exhibits to the Court by Friday, May

26

6 at 12:00 p.m.

If the parties cannot agree on a particular instruction, then in one document, they
must note the disagreement and state each parties’ position.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
