Plaintiff George Albert Brogdon, Jr. brought this pro se

civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the City

of Phoenix and City of Phoenix Police Officers Eric Boardman

and Mylen Lubker for alleged Fourth Amendment violations

(Doc. 14). On April 11, 2013, this court granted in part and

denied in part the defendants’ motion for summary judgment

(Doc. 66). The only remaining claim in this lawsuit “is the

Fourth Amendment claim in Count I alleging that [defendants]

Boardman and Lubker lacked reasonable suspicion to stop and

detain Plaintiff.” Ord. (Doc. 57) at 13:1-2, ¶ (4). 

Based upon that order, and consistent with his prior

order requiring, among other things, the lodging of a ”joint

pretrial statement and proposed order . . . within 90 days of

the Court’s ruling on the last dispositive motion that does

not dispose of the case[,]” Ord. (Doc. 35) at 2:16-19

(emphasis in original), also on April 11, 2013, United

States Magistrate Judge Aspey ordered the parties to file a

joint pretrial statement and proposed order “on or before

July 11, 2013[.]” Ord. (Doc. 58) at 1:16-18. The Magistrate

Judge advised that the “[d]efendants are responsible for

initiating and drafting and submission of the proposed

pretrial order in the form prescribed by the assigned trial

judge.” Id. at 1:18-20.

Because this action is now ready for trial, and in light

of the foregoing, the court hereby ORDERS that plaintiff pro

se and the attorney or attorneys who will be responsible for

the trial of this lawsuit prepare a proposed Joint Final

Pretrial Order and lodge it with the Clerk of the Court by no

later than July 11, 2013. 

Although it is the defendants’ responsibility to ensure

that the proposed Joint Final Pretrial Order is properly

prepared and timely lodged, the plaintiff pro se shall fully 

cooperate with the defendants to ensure that such Order is

properly prepared and timely lodged. That proposed Joint

Final Pretrial Order shall be signed by plaintiff pro se and

defense counsel. Plaintiff pro se may authorize defense

counsel to sign on his behalf.

The content of the proposed Joint Final Pretrial Order

shall include, but is not limited to, that prescribed in the

form of the proposed Joint Final Pretrial Order attached

hereto.

Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 16(d) and 37(c), the court will

not allow the parties to modify the Joint Final Pretrial

Order or introduce at trial any exhibits, witnesses, or other

information or to make any objections to exhibits that were

not previously specified and/or disclosed as directed by the

Court in the Joint Final Pretrial Order, except to prevent

manifest injustice. Galdamez v. Potter, 415 F.3d 1015, 1020

(9th Cir. 2005).

After the lodging of the signed proposed Joint Final

Pretrial Order, at a date to be set by the court, the parties

shall participate telephonically in a Pretrial Conference to

discuss that Proposed Order. Following that Pretrial

Conference, the court will issue the Final Pretrial Order and

set a trial date for this action.

IT IS ORDERED that:

(1) the reference to the Magistrate Judge is 

withdrawn; and

(2) the parties shall lodge a Proposed Joint Final

Pretrial Order in accordance herewith by no

later than July 11, 2013. 

DATED this 26th day of April, 2013.
