Pretrial schedule set as follows: Pretrial order, motions in limine, and jury instructions are due by 10/20/2023. Responses to the motions in limine are due by 11/3/2023. Pretrial conference set for 11/17/2023 at 10:00 a.m. by telephone. Dial toll-free call-in number: 888-684-8852; followed by the conference access code: 9482028#. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions deemed necessary by the court. The parties are directed to submit their pretrial filings in compliance with Judge Tharp's pretrial standing order for civil jury trials, which is available at https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/_assets/_documents/_forms/_judges/tharp/Jury.pdf. In addition, absent prior leave of court, motions in limine (not including exhibits) are limited to a total of 15 pages per side (not per motion), and responses (not including exhibits) are likewise limited to a total of 15 pages per side. Jury instructions should be ordered in one complete set that incorporates plaintiff's and defendant's proposed instructions in a single collated sequential order (as opposed to plaintiff's proposed instructions followed by defendant's proposed instructions). And, for proposed jury instructions that are disputed, the grounds for the objection (and any proposed modification or alternate instruction) must be concisely stated on the same page immediately following the disputed instruction. The party proposing the instruction may then state concisely the reasons supporting the instruction as proposed. In addition to filing the proposed jury instructions on the docket, the parties should also send a Word version of the proposed instructions to the court's proposed order inbox.
