Since the parties stipulated at the Trial Confirmation 2

Hearing held on January 13, 2006, that Defendant acted under

color of state law, that element has been omitted from closing

instruction number six. Further, no qualified immunity

instruction has been included since Defendant failed to include

it in his Pretrial Statement or the Pretrial Order. See Hotel

Emp., et al. Health Tr. v. Elks Lodge 1450, 827 F.2d 1324, 1329

(9th Cir. 1987) (“Issues not preserved in the pretrial order are

eliminated from the action.”).
