The agreed pretrial order shall be filed in CM/ECF and also attached as a Word compatible file
to an e-mail sent to the following address: [e-mail]. Notwithstanding
Local Civil Rule 16.1, the exhibit list included in the agreed pretrial order shall be prepared in
table format with the following columns: “Exhibit Number,” “Description,” “Admissibility
Stipulated,” “Authenticity Stipulated/Admissibility Disputed,” “Authenticity Disputed,” and
“Admitted.” The latter column is for the Clerk’s convenience and shall remain blank, but the
parties shall indicate the status of an exhibit’s authenticity and admissibility by placing an “X” in
the appropriate column. Duplicate documents shall not be listed twice: once a party has
identified an exhibit in the pretrial order, any party may use it. The original and one copy of the
trial exhibits are to be delivered to the courtroom at a time coordinated with Gail Glass, who can
be reached at 206-370-8522, no later than the Friday before trial. Each set of exhibits shall be
submitted in a three-ring binder with appropriately numbered tabs. 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 the next multiple of 100 after plaintiff’s
last exhibit; any other party’s exhibits shall be numbered consecutively beginning with the next
multiple of 100 after defendant’s last exhibit. For example, if plaintiff’s last exhibit is numbered
159, then defendant’s exhibits shall begin with the number 200; if defendant’s last exhibit
number is 321, then any other party’s exhibits shall begin with the number 400.
