Order on Motion for Sanctions
ORDER granting 148 Motion for Sanctions.
In the attached order, the court directs disclosure of the related attorney-client information (if any) by tomorrow at 4 p.m. (and alternatively sets a shortened briefing schedule on that issue). The conduct is sanctionable. On this record, the remedy is for the Lennon parties to examine witnesses about it and to argue the issue to the jury. The matter can be discussed further on Thursday.

Pretrial Order
PRETRIAL ORDER
By 2 p.m. on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, the parties must confer and submit a joint stipulation with any jurors that they agree should be excused for cause (by listing their juror numbers). The court will make a record on this at Thursday's pretrial conference, which will avoid calling in any jurors unnecessarily. For efficiency in jury selection, in that stipulation, the parties should flag any jurors that they think might raise cause issues. The court will not address those on Thursday: this is only to make sure that the court has summonsed the right amount of jurors and to aid in jury selection. (It's a math problem: potential issues + peremptory challenges = an understanding of where the eight jurors likely will be on the list -> efficiency allocation of time to jury selection.)

JURY INSTRUCTIONS
Attached are the instructions to date, subject to discussion on Thursday and (likely) during an instructions conference at trial. The jury instructions have a tentative resolution of the two disputed issues: one on instruction 1501 (adopting the Lennon parties' version) and the other on the unusually susceptible plaintiff (adopting the Simpson parties' argument). Again, these can be discussed at the instructions conference. The final issue is whether any other in structions should be included in the opening instructions: the court does allow the jurors to keep the preliminary instructions during the trial, but maybe there are additional instructions that should be added.
