A. At
least seven days prior to date of the Final Pretrial
Conference the parties shall do the following:
1. In lieu of preparing a Joint Pretrial Conference
Statement, the parties shall meet and confer in person, and
then prepare and file a jointly signed Proposed Final
Pretrial Order that contains: (a) a brief description of the
substance of claims and defenses which remain to be decided;
(b) a statement of all relief sought; (c) all stipulated
facts; (d) a joint exhibit list in numerical order, including
a brief description of the exhibit and Bates numbers, a blank
column for when it will be offered into evidence, a blank
column for when it may be received into evidence, and a blank
column for any limitations on its use; and (e) each
party’s separate witness list for its case-in-chief
witnesses (including those appearing by deposition),
including, for all such witnesses (other than party
plaintiffs or defendants), a short statement of the substance
of his/her testimony and, separately, what, if any,
non-cumulative testimony the witness will offer. For each
witness, state an hour/minute time estimate for the direct

Instruction No. __ Re __ Offered by __, ” with the
blanks filled in as appropriate. All disputed versions of the
same basic instruction shall bear the same number. Any
modifications to a form instruction must be plainly
identified. If a party does not have a counter version and
simply contends that no such instruction in any version
should be given, then that party should so state (and explain
why) on a separate page inserted in lieu of an alternate
version. With respect to form preliminary instructions,
general instructions, or concluding instructions, please
simply cite to the numbers of the requested instructions in
the current edition of the Ninth Circuit Model Jury
Instructions. Other than citing the numbers, the parties
shall not include preliminary, general, or concluding
instructions in the packet.
