IEMORANDUM_ ORDER

In compliance with the schedule established by this Court's
April 21, 2004 minute order, in which it also set the dates for
the litigants' joint submission of a Final Pretrial Order and for
an ensuing pretrial conference, counsel for defendant Maytag
Corporation (“Maytag”) has timely filed a dozen motions in
limine. Its Motion No. 9, which seeks to bar all non-party
witnesses from attendance during the trial until they are called
to testify, is entirely noncontroversial and also conforms to
this Court's regular trial practice. Accordingly that motion is
granted at this time, without this Court requiring a response
from plaintiffs' counsel.

Because this sua sponte memorandum order is being entered so
early in the briefing process, it also addresses a procedural
matter for the guidance of the litigants. Plaintiffs' counsel
should file a single memorandum that addresses all of Maytag's
remaining motions in limine, rather than having to generate a

geparate memorandum for each of Maytag's motions (and of course

LO



leave is granted to exceed the 15-page limit in that combined
memorandum). By the same token, Maytag's reply should also be
presented in a single memorandum, with leave being granted also

to exceed the 15-page limit if that is found necessary.
