The Court will alter these dates only upon good cause shown: failure to complete discovery within the time allowed is not recognized as good cause.

Counsel are further directed to cooperate in preparing the final pretrial order in the format requrired by CR 16.1, except as ordered below. The original and one copy of the trial exhibits are to be delivered to the courtroom the morning of the trial. Each exhibit shall be clearly marked. Plaintiff's exhibits shall be numbered consecutively beginning with 1; defendant's exhibits shall be numbered consecutively beginning with A-1. Duplicate documents shall not be listed twice: once a party has identified an exhibit in the pretrial order, any party may use it. Each set of exhibits shall be submitted in a three-ring binder with appropriately numbered tabs. Counsel must be prepared to begin trial on the date scheduled, but it should be understood that the trial may have to await the completion of other cases.
