If documents are attached as exhibits to motions, affidavits or briefs, those parts of the exhibits that counsel want to bring to the attention of the Court must be highlighted in accordance with D.N.M.LR-Civ. 10.6. Counsel are directed to file a consolidated final Pretrial Order as follows: Plaintiff to Defendant on or before March 20, 2018; Defendant to Court on or before April 3, 2018.
