UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

EDIN S. CASTELLANOS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

JEREMY J. MAYA, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 15-cv-00272-JSW 

ORDER ON PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST 

FOR CLARIFICATION RE WITNESS 

TESTIMONY AND REMINDER TO 

PARTIES RE VERDICT FORMS 

Re: Dkt. No. 118 

Plaintiff has filed a request in which he asks whether the Court would permit a witness’ 

testimony “to be interrupted and later resumed for the purpose of placing another witness on the 

stand to accommodate timing issues and to assure no ‘gaps’ in a party’s presentation of their 

case.” (Docket No. 118, Plaintiff’s Request at 1:24-26.) 

The Court will permit a witness’ testimony to be interrupted, so long as a party has 

complied with the timing requirements set forth in Paragraph 17 of the Court’s Guidelines for 

Civil Jury Trials. The Court does not understand Plaintiff’s request to the extent it relates to 

interrupting a witness to assure there are no gaps in the presentation of a party’s case. The Court 

will address that request at the conclusion of jury selection on July 13, 2016. 

Finally, at the pretrial conference, the Court ordered the parties to meet and confer and 

submit proposed verdict forms by June 27, 2016. If the parties do not intend to revise the verdict 

forms included with their pretrial filings, the parties shall file a notice to that effect by 3:00 p.m. 

on June 30, 2016. If the parties intend to submit revised verdict forms, they shall file those 

proposals by 12:00 p.m. on July 5, 2016, with an explanation as to why they failed to comply with
