KAUFMAN & BROAD MONTEREY BAY, 

INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:13-cv-04745-EJD 

FURTHER ORDER RE: TRIAL 

SCHEDULE AND RELATED MATTERS

In light of the parties’ recent joint statement regarding the status of settlement efforts filed 

on June 8, 2015 (Docket Item No. 228), the court orders as follows: 

1. The parties shall appear for a further Final Pretrial Conference at 9:00 a.m. on 

June 10, 2015. Among other matters, the court will finalize the trial schedule at that time. Jury 

selection will thereafter begin at 10:00 a.m. immediately following the conference. 

2. On or before 4:00 p.m. on June 9, 2015, the parties shall provide an updated joint 

witness list consistent with this court’s previous rulings. For each side, the witness list shall 

include the name, role or title of the witness, and a brief summary of the witness’s proffered 

testimony. 

3. On or before 4:00 p.m. on June 9, 2015, the parties shall also provide a brief joint 

statement, not exceeding two pages, which lists the causes of action that will be tried, taking into 

consideration this court’s previous rulings. 

4. On June 5, 2015, Defendants objected to Plaintiff’s notice designating specified 

portions of the deposition of Steve McAllister to be read at trial. See Docket Item No. 227. This

United States District Court

court’s standing order provides that the parties shall file and serve any excerpts of deposition 

testimony no later than 14 days before the Final Pretrial Conference. See Standing Order for Civil 

Cases at § III(D)(7). Given that (1) Plaintiff has been aware since on or about April 7, 2015, that 

McAllister would not voluntarily appear at trial and made no effort to compel his attendance, (2) 

Plaintiff’s designation is untimely according to this court’s standing order, and (3) Plaintiff did not 

obtain leave of court before filing the untimely designation, Defendants’ objection is tentatively 

SUSTAINED. The court will entertain brief argument on this issue at the further Final Pretrial 

Conference before issuing a final order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 9, 2015
