This matter comes before the court sua sponte. On February 14, 2013, the court

19 limine, pretrial order, trial briefs, proposed jury instructions, proposed voir dire, agreed
20 neutral statement of the case, deposition designations, and trial exhibits. Dkt. # 160. The
21 court advises the parties that its prior orders on motions in limine will apply equally to the
