These dates are set at the direction of the Court after reviewing the joint status
11 report and discovery plan submitted by the parties. All other dates are specified in the
Local Civil Rules. These are firm dates that can be changed only by order of the Court,
12 not by agreement of counsel or parties. The Court will alter these dates only upon good
cause shown: failure to complete discovery within the time allowed is not recognized as
13 good cause.
As required by LCR 37(a), all discovery matters are to be resolved by agreement if
possible. Counsel are further directed to cooperate in preparing the final pretrial order in
15 the format required by LCR 16.1.
14

Notwithstanding Local Civil Rule 16.1, the exhibit list shall be prepared in table
16 format with the following columns: “Exhibit Number,” “Description,” “Admissibility
Stipulated,” “Authenticity Stipulated/Admissibility Disputed,” “Authenticity Disputed,”
17 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
18 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
19 may use it.
20

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
21 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
22 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

1 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
2 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
3 the number 400.

Counsel must be prepared to begin trial on the date scheduled, but it should be
understood that the trial might have to await the completion of other cases.

Should this case settle, counsel shall notify Chambers at 206-370-8830 as soon as
possible.
