MINUTE ORDER
ORDER ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KATHLEEN M. TAFOYA
The parties’ “Stipulated Motion to Set Dates Certain for Pre-Trial Deadlines” (Doc. No. 170,
filed May 22, 2012) is GRANTED in part. Consistent with the Final Pretrial Order entered on
May 15, 2012 (Doc. No. 169), the following deadlines are established as dates certain:
–Counsel for the parties shall meet and confer regarding exhibit stipulations on or before
February 22, 2013
–Motions in Limine, if any, shall be filed no later than March 26, 2013
–Motions seeking to preserve the testimony of out-of-state witnesses, if necessary, shall
be filed no later than March 26, 2013
–Counsel for the parties shall exchange copies of exhibits no later than April 25, 2013
–Objections to exhibits pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(3) shall be filed no later than
May 9, 2012

However, the court finds it inappropriate to set dates certain for the remaining pre-trial
deadlines. The Final Pretrial Order reflects only that the parties “request dates certain for the
submission of jury instructions, deposition designations, and trial briefs”; no dates were actually
set by this court in entering the Final Pretrial Order. (Doc. No. 169 at 24.) Because each of
these deadlines are intimately related to trial set in this matter, they are province of District
Judge R. Brooke Jackson and, therefore, should not be set by the Magistrate Judge.
Dated: May 24, 2012
