In the Matter of the Complaint of ENERGETIC TANK, INC., as Owner of the M/V ALNIC MC, for Exoneration from or Limitation of Liability
ORDER
HONORABLE PAUL A. CROTTY, United States District Judge
The Court has reviewed the parties' proposed Joint Pre-Trial Order, ECF No. 329, in advance of the Phase I bench trial beginning November 1, 2021. The Court expresses concern that "[t]he exhibits, witness lists, and deposition designations in the Joint Pre-Trial Order are far in excess of what is reasonably necessary for a fair, expeditious, and just presentation of this case." Am. Nat'l Theatre & Acad. v. Am. Nat'l Theatre Inc., No. 05 Civ. 4535 (JGK), 2006 WL 8462060, at *1 (S.D.N.Y.Aug. 8, 2006). Accordingly, in advance of the final pre-trial conference on October 25, 2021, the Petitioner and the United States shall submit--jointly or separately-summaries of the deposition designations that would be presented at trial.
SO ORDERED
