The following minute order is made by the direction of the court, the Honorable
James L. Robart:
On August 5, 2019, Plaintiff Weyerhaeuser Company (“Weyerhaeuser”) filed

18

three motions in limine, as required by the court’s scheduling order. (MIL (Dkt. # 97);

19

Sched. Order (Dkt. # 29).) In its filing, Weyerhaeuser “seeks guidance from the [c]ourt

20

as to when it would like to consider these motions in limine.” (MIL at 1 n.1.)

21

Weyerhaeuser notes that, under Local Civil Rule 7(d)(4), motions in limine “shall be

22

noted for consideration no earlier than the third Friday after filing and service of the

MINUTE ORDER - 1

1

motion but no later than the Friday before any scheduled pretrial conference.” Local

2

Rules W.D. Wash. LCR 7(d)(4). Because the court has combined the pretrial conference

3

with the August 13, 2019, hearing, Weyerhaeuser cannot comply with the requirement

4

that its motions in limine be noted for consideration no later than the Friday before the

5

pretrial conference. See id.; (8/2/19 Order (Dkt. # 96) at 1.)

6

The court notes Weyerhaeuser’s motions in limine for consideration on Friday,

7

August 23, 2019. Defendants shall file and serve any opposition papers no later than

8

Monday, August 19, 2019. See Local Rules W.D. Wash. LCR 7(d)(4). Weyerhaeuser is

9

not permitted a reply. See id. If necessary, the court will schedule a hearing to address

10

the motions in limine on Monday, August 26, 2019, after receipt of Defendants’

11

opposition, if any.

12

Filed and entered this 7th day of August, 2019.
