`
`
`Agreed LCR 16.1 Pretrial Order due
`Trial briefs, proposed voir dire questions, and proposed jury
`instructions due by this date. Counsel are to confer and
`indicate with their submissions which exhibits are agreed to.
`
`Pretrial Conference scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on
`
`All other dates are specified in the Local Civil Rules. With the exception of the deadlines
`
`5/19/2025
`5/23/2025
`
`5/30/2025
`
`described in Section III.A of Judge Lin’s Standing Order for All Civil Cases, the dates set forth
`
`in this order are firm dates that can be changed only by order of the Court, not by agreement of
`
`counsel for the parties. The Court will alter these dates only upon good cause shown. Failure to
`
`complete discovery within the time allowed is not recognized as good cause. Judge Lin will not
`
`decrease the amount of time between the dispositive motion or motion in limine deadlines and
`
`the trial date unless the parties set forth an extraordinary basis for doing so. Any changes in the
`
`dispositive motion or motion in limine deadlines will result in a change of the trial date. If any of
`
`the dates identified in this Order or the Local Civil Rules fall on a weekend or federal holiday,
`
`the act or event shall be performed on the next business day.
`
`If the trial date assigned to this matter creates an irreconcilable conflict, counsel must
`
`provide written notice to Courtroom Deputy Kadya Peter at Kadya_Peter@wawd.uscourts.gov
`
`within ten (10) days of the date of this Order and must set forth the exact nature of the conflict.
`
`A failure to do so will be deemed a waiver. Counsel must be prepared to begin trial on the date
`
`scheduled, but it should be understood that the trial may have to await the completion of other
`
`cases.
`
`COOPERATION
`
`As required by LCR 37(a), all discovery matters are to be resolved by agreement if
`
`possible. Counsel are also directed to cooperate in preparing the final pretrial order in the format
`
`required by LCR 16.1, except as ordered below.

`
`
`
`EXHIBITS
`
`One hard copy and one electronic copy of the trial exhibits are to be delivered to Judge
`
`Lin’s chambers five (5) days before the trial date. Each exhibit shall be clearly marked. The
`
`Court hereby alters the LCR 16.1 procedure for numbering exhibits: Plaintiff(s)’ exhibits shall be
`
`numbered consecutively beginning with P-1; defendant(s)’exhibits shall be numbered
`
`consecutively beginning with D-1. Joint exhibits shall be numbered consecutively beginning
`
`with J-1. Duplicate documents shall not be listed twice. Each exhibit shall be printed double-
`
`sided unless there is a specific need to not do so. Once a party has identified an exhibit in the
`
`pretrial order, it may be used by any party. Each set of exhibits shall be submitted in a three-ring
`
`binder with appropriately numbered tabs.
`
`PRIVACY
`
`Pursuant to LCR 5.2(a), parties shall refrain from including, or shall partially redact
`
`where inclusion is necessary, the following personal data identifiers from all documents filed
`
`with the court or used as exhibits in any hearing or at trial, unless otherwise ordered by the court:
`
`• Dates of Birth − redact to the year of birth, unless deceased.
`
`• Names of Minor Children − redact to the initials, unless deceased or currently over the
`age of 18.
`
`• Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Numbers − redact in their entirety.
`
`• Financial Accounting Information − redact to the last four digits.
`
`• Passport Numbers and Driver License Numbers − redact in their entirety.
`
`Parties in social security appeals and immigration cases shall comply with LCR 5.2(c).
`
`SETTLEMENT
`
`If this case settles, counsel shall file a Notice of Settlement as soon as possible and in
`
`accordance with Judge Lin’s Standing Order for All Civil Cases. Pursuant to LCR 11(b), an
