Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-05955-HSG 

ORDER RE JURY INSTRUCTIONS

The parties filed joint proposed jury instructions on October 2, 2015. Dkt. No. 129. The 

majority of the instructions are disputed. The parties are directed to meet and confer again in a 

good faith attempt to resolve these outstanding disputes. The parties are encouraged to use model 

instructions wherever possible. If agreement cannot be reached, each party must explain in no 

more than one page why the Court should give that party’s proposed instruction. Any party 

proposing a deviation from a model instruction must fully explain why such a deviation is 

necessary.

Additionally, the parties did not categorize the instructions as preliminary, general, or 

concluding. The parties are directed to meet and confer to divide the instructions into such 

categories.

The parties shall file revised joint proposed jury instructions on or before October 15, 

2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 13, 2015
