Opinion
CASE NO. C10-1528 RAJ
05-14-2013
MARY MATSON, Plaintiff, v. UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC., Defendant.
HONORABLE RICHARD A. JONES
ORDER
This matter comes before the court sua sponte. On February 14, 2013, the court entered a minute order setting trial and related dates, including deadlines for motions in limine, pretrial order, trial briefs, proposed jury instructions, proposed voir dire, agreed neutral statement of the case, deposition designations, and trial exhibits. Dkt. # 160. The court advises the parties that its prior orders on motions in limine will apply equally to the new trial, except with respect to the preemption issue on the extra-work assignments. Dkt. # 93. Since the court has found that only Ms. Matson's hostile work environment claim based on non-extra-work assignments will be re-tried, neither party will be permitted to introduce evidence based on "extra-work" assignments. Additionally, the court advises the parties that it will use the jury instructions and verdict forms for hostile work environment as previously decided. The parties need not submit motions in limine, pretrial orders, trial briefs, proposed jury instructions, proposed voir dire, or agreed neutral statement of the case, unless the parties have new or additional information not previously raised. The court emphasizes that all prior rulings (except for preemption) will apply to the new trial. The parties must still submit deposition designations and trial exhibits.
