VICTOR PALACIOS,

Plaintiff,

v.

AMERIWOOD INDUSTRIES, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-04066-KAW 

ORDER REQUIRING COMPLIANCE 

WITH PRETRIAL ORDER'S MEET 

AND CONFER REQUIREMENT

The Court's case management and pretrial order required the parties to file, by April 8, 

2016, "(1) any objections to exhibits or to use of deposition excerpts or other discovery; (2) any 

objections to witnesses, including the qualifications of an expert witness; (3) any objection to 

proposed voir dire questions, jury instructions and verdict forms that the parties have been unable 

in good faith to resolve; (4) any opposition to a motion in limine." (Dkt. No. 28.) The parties 

were to submit such filings only "after meeting and conferring in a good faith attempt to resolve 

any objections." (Id.) 

The parties' submissions make clear that the parties have not met and conferred as 

required. Defendant has proposed 33 exhibits, and Plaintiff has objected to 23 of them. (Dkt. 

Nos. 72, 95.) Plaintiff has proposed 30 exhibits, and Defendant has objected to 18 of them. (Dkt. 

Nos. 69, 94.) Some of Defendant's objections are as follows: "[t]hese records were not included 

in the exhibit binder sent by Plaintiff to Defendant, so Defendant cannot tell whether they were 

disclosed before the discovery cut-off" and "[i]f this exhibit consists of documents produced by 

Defendant Bates-stamped PALACIOS187-194, Defendant has no objection." (Dkt. No. 94.) 

These types of objections indicate that the parties have not met and conferred as required. 

Accordingly, the parties are ordered to meet and confer to resolve all of their objections to their
