A joint list of exhibits, discovery responses, and deposition excerpts to be offered at trial, in tabular form with (a) a column identifying the exhibit number consistent with the pre- marking requirement below; (b) a column briefly describing the exhibit; (c) a column describing the purpose for which the exhibit is offered and identifying its sponsoring witness; (d) a column stating any objections to the exhibit; and (e) a column responding to the objections. The Court will not rule on these objections before trial and any remaining objections must be asserted at trial. Before this list is filed with the Court, counsel shall meet and confer, in person, to consider exhibit numbers, eliminate duplicate exhibits and confusion over exhibits, and make a good faith effort to stipulate to admissibility. If stipulation is not possible, the parties shall make every effort to stipulate to authenticity and foundation absent a legitimate (not tactical) objection.
Standing Order Re Civil Jury Trials Rev. 9/9/2024
Pre-Marked
All exhibits shall be pre-marked for identification with numbers (not letters) by means of exhibit tags affixed to the back of the last page of each exhibit. Sample tags are attached hereto.
Delivery to Court
Unless otherwise ordered, on the Thursday before commencement of trial, the parties shall deliver to Tiffany Salinas-Harwell, Courtroom Deputy to Judge Freeman, 1 original set of exhibits and 1 complete copy of the original set. The copy set of exhibits need not be tagged, but the exhibits contained therein must be labeled clearly. Both sets of exhibits – the original and the copy – shall be in three-ring binders with the exhibits separated by tabs denoting the exhibit numbers.
Consequences of Nondisclosure
No party shall be permitted to offer any exhibit at trial that is not disclosed in the Joint Pretrial Statement and Order without leave of the Court for good cause shown, unless it is offered solely for impeachment or rebuttal.
C. Motions in Limine
Timing
Unless otherwise ordered, the parties shall file and serve any motions in limine at
least 14 days before the final Pretrial Conference, and any opposition thereto at
least 7 days before the final Pretrial Conference. Reply briefs are not permitted.
The Court will hear argument on motions in limine at the final Pretrial
Conference.
Contents
Each motion shall be presented in a separate document and shall be numbered as, for example, “Plaintiff’s Motion in Limine No. 1 to Exclude. . . .” Each side is limited to 5 motions in limine. Each motion in limine is limited to 5 pages and may address only one issue. If a party raises a Daubert motion as a motion in limine, the party must file a separate motion for each expert to which the party raises a Daubert challenge. Each Daubert motion is included in the 5 motion maximum for motions in limine.
Standing Order Re Civil Jury Trials Rev. 9/9/2024
D. Jury Materials

Preliminary Statement to the Jury
A simplified statement of the case to be read to the jury during voir dire and as part of the proposed jury instructions. Unless the case is extremely complex, this statement should not exceed one paragraph.
Voir Dire Questions
The Court will conduct the initial voir dire. Counsel may submit for the Court’s consideration an agreed upon set of voir dire questions to be posed by the Court. Any voir dire questions on which counsel cannot agree may be submitted separately. Counsel will be allowed a brief (15 minutes) follow-up voir dire after the Court’s questioning. Counsel shall inform the Court if they wish to use a jury questionnaire and, if so, shall submit a proposed questionnaire for the Court’s review.
Jury Instructions
a) Joint Set of Instructions
The parties shall submit a complete joint set of proposed jury instructions, arranged in a logical sequence, which incorporates the Model Jury Instructions of the Ninth Circuit to the extent feasible and appropriate.
b) Stipulated Instructions
If an instruction is undisputed, it shall be identified as “Stipulated Instruction No. ___ re ____________,” with the blanks filled in as appropriate. Even if stipulated, the instruction shall be supported by citation to the Model Jury Instructions of the Ninth Circuit or other authority.
c) Disputed Instructions
If an instruction is disputed, all versions of the instruction shall be inserted together in the logical place for the instruction in the overall sequence. A disputed instruction shall be identified as “Disputed Instruction No. ___ re ____________ offered by ____________,” with the blanks filled in as appropriate. All
Standing Order Re Civil Jury Trials Rev. 9/9/2024
disputed versions of the same instruction shall bear the same number. If a party does not have an alternate version but contends that no such instruction should be given, that party should so state on a separate page inserted in lieu of an alternate version. Each party should support its position regarding a disputed instruction with a brief argument and citation to relevant authority, set forth immediately following the disputed instruction. The parties are encouraged to keep disputed instructions to a minimum.
Verdict Form
The parties shall submit a joint proposed verdict form. If the parties are unable to stipulate to a verdict form, each party shall submit a proposed verdict form.
E. Trial Briefs
Each party shall submit a trial brief, not to exceed 15 pages, at least 7 days before the commencement of trial. A trial brief is most helpful to the Court when it summarizes the party’s theory of the case, identifies key evidence, and provides summary briefing on any controlling issues of law.
F. Stipulations
A statement of proposed stipulations that will expedite the presentation of evidence. Any stipulations submitted before or during trial shall be in writing and signed by all parties.
G. Time Limits
Ordinarily, the Court will set fixed trial time limits at the final Pretrial Conference. Each party may allocate its time as it wishes, but all of a party’s examination time (whether direct, cross, re-direct, or re-cross) for all witnesses must fit within its time limit. Opening and closing time limits are in addition to examination time.
IV. TRIAL SCHEDULE
Trial is conducted on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Thursdays typically are dark.
