order. In addition, Plaintiffs have failed to file any opposition to Defendant’s motions in limine or

any objections to Defendant’s exhibits. Court staff has called Plaintiffs’ counsel three times

regarding this failure but the Court’s calls have not been returned. 

In light of this failure and the upcoming pretrial conference on February 20, 2008, the Court

hereby orders Plaintiffs to lodge their exhibits (two sets, premarked and tabbed) and to file any

opposition and/or objection to Defendant’s pretrial filings by 4:00 p.m., February 15, 2008. 

Should Plaintiffs fail to comply with this order, then the Court shall, at a minimum, (1) bar Plaintiffs

from introducing any of their exhibits; (2) grant each of Defendant’s motions in limine; and (3)

admit each of Defendant’s exhibits at trial as evidence. The Court also warns Plaintiffs that, if they
