UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VICTOR PALACIOS,

Plaintiff,

v.

AMERIWOOD INDUSTRIES, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-04066-KAW 

ORDER REQUIRING COMPLIANCE 

WITH CASE MANAGEMENT AND 

PRETRIAL ORDER RE JOINT

FILINGS

Re: Dkt. Nos. 70, 71

The case management and pretrial order entered in this action states that by March 29, 

2016, the parties were to:

[S]ubmit proposed jury instructions jointly. If there are any instructions on which the parties 

cannot agree, those instructions may be submitted separately. The parties shall submit a jointly 

prepared proposed form of verdict, or, if the parties cannot agree, their respective proposals[.]

(Dkt. No. 28 at 5 ¶ 5.c.(4) (emphasis in original).)

On March 29, 2016, Defendant filed its own proposed verdict form and jury instructions 

because Plaintiff's counsel had apparently not responded to emails seeking Plaintiff's input. (See Dkt. 

Nos. 70, 71.) Plaintiff is ordered to meet and confer with Defendant to prepare and file joint jury 

instructions and a joint proposed form of verdict, which shall be filed by no later than March 31, 2016 

at noon. If joint filings are not submitted by that deadline, Plaintiff will be deemed to have waived 

any objections to Defendant's jury instructions and to Defendant's proposed form of verdict. 

The parties are reminded that the Court requires strict adherence to the case management and 

pretrial order. Any untimely filings will, therefore, be stricken.
