WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred regarding various scheduling issues

negotiations and reached agreements on several matters that implicate the Court’s Order for

facilitate the efficient and orderly exchange of pretrial material and for the convenience of the

WHEREAS, the Court’s Order for Pretrial Preparation, which incorporates Civil Local 

Rule 16-10(b)(7) regarding “exhibits and other trial material, including copies of all exhibits to be 

offered and all schedules, summaries, diagrams and charts to use at the trial other than for 

impeachment or rebuttal,” can be interpreted to require that the parties exchange demonstrative 

exhibits 30 days prior to the final pretrial conference.

record, that: 

1. The trial date shall be continued to October 22, 2007.

demonstratives for opening argument based on any rulings that occur after 

the exchange; 

• The parties experts’ demonstrative exhibits shall be exchanged one week 

prior to trial; 

• Closing demonstrative exhibits shall be exchanged two days prior to 

summation, provided that the parties can supplement or revise 

demonstratives for closing arguments based on any testimony or rulings 

that occur after the exchange. 

• Any supplemental or revised demonstratives shall be exchanged as soon as 

possible after the close of testimony or after the rulings.1

 It is the position of Defendant Kevin Kalkhoven that the Court should order the 

exchange of materials, such as trial exhibits and demonstratives, on a phased schedule, in which 

plaintiffs’ exhibits and demonstratives are exchanged before defendants’ exhibits and 

demonstratives are exchanged. Counsel for Mr. Kalkhoven will write the Court separately to 

raise this issue.
