JORGE PAVON HERNANDEZ, et al., Plaintiffs, v. GEMINI DINER, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, DISTRICT JUDGE:
On October 19, 2021, the Court directed the parties to submit a Joint Pretrial Order prepared in accordance with the Court's Individual Rules and Practices governing trials. Dkt. 40.
On November 8, 2021, the parties submitted their proposed joint pretrial order. Dkt. 49. However, in its preparation for the final pretrial conference in this case, which is scheduled for December 3, 2021, the Court has noticed deficiencies with that filing. These include the following:
• Individual Rule 5.A(viii) requires “a brief summary of the substance of each witness's testimony.” The proposed pretrial order does not do so.
• Individual Rule 5.A(x) requires “[a] list by each party of exhibits to be offered in its case in chief, with one star indicating exhibits to which no party objects on grounds of authenticity, and two stars indicating exhibits to which no party objects on any ground.” The exhibit lists submitted by the parties do not so do.
• Individual Rule 5.B, “Required Pretrial Filings, ” states, in part: “Each party shall file and serve with the joint pretrial order: i. In all cases, motions addressing any1
evidentiary issues or other matters which should be resolved in limine; ii. In all cases where a party believes it would be useful to the Court, a pretrial memorandum of law; iii. Injury cases, requests to charge and proposed voir dire questions, ” The Court has not received requests to charge or voir dire questions.
The parties are directed to file a corrected proposed joint pretrial order, along with the documents required to be filed and served with the joint pretrial order, by November 23, 2021. Those submissions should be in full compliance with the Court's Individual Rules and Practices.
SO ORDERED. 2
