defendant John Osborn, but denied summary judgment as to

defendants Ryan, Haley, Matson, and Smith. Ord. (Doc. 64) at

Order or introduce at trial any exhibits, witnesses, or other

information or to make any objections to exhibits that were

not previously specified and/or disclosed as directed by the

Court in the Joint Final Pretrial Order, except to prevent

manifest injustice. Galdamez v. Potter, 415 F.3d 1015, 1020

Pretrial Order, at a date to be set by the court, the parties
