                                                                       ORDER



              The following order is entered in the above matter:

              ORDER:

              CIVIL JURY TRIAL MANAGEMENT ORDER

              The parties shall comply with the following trial management order unless otherwise ordered by the
              court. Failure to comply may result in sanctions, which may include the exclusion of evidence,
              imposition of costs, non-suit or default. The presiding judge or the trial judge may modify this order for
              any individual case.


              Counsel and self-represented parties must attend any scheduled trial management conference at the
              assigned time. Counsel and self-represented parties should come prepared to engage in settlement
              negotiations. Counsel must have clients and/or decision makers (such as insurance adjusters) present or
              immediately available by phone. Counsel for a plaintiff or a self-represented plaintiff must bring an
              updated pretrial memorandum (JD-ES-47) to the trial management conference.


              A trial management report must be filed with the court before or at the scheduled trial management
              conference. A trial management report may be filed jointly by the parties or individually by each party.
              The trial management report must include the following:
              1. A brief, non-argumentative factual description of the case.
              2. A list identifying the filing numbers of the operative pleadings (complaint, answer, counterclaim, etc.)
              and any Practice Book §13-4 expert disclosure by name and docket entry number.
              3. A list of all pending motions that must be decided before the start of trial including motions in limine
              or motions to preclude evidence.
              Any motions requiring adjudication before the start of jury selection or evidence, including motions in
              limine or motions to preclude, shall be filed AT LEAST THREE WEEKS before the start of jury
              selection (or if a bench trial, at least THREE weeks before the start of evidence.) A written objection or
              response to any such motion will be filed within SEVEN DAYS after the filing of the motion.
              The moving party shall file a CASEFLOW REQUEST FORM (JD-CV-116) with the motion stating that
              the motion requires disposition before trial.
              The trial judge may decline to consider any motion not filed in compliance with this order.
              4. A list of the legal and factual issues that are not in dispute.
              5. A witness list for each party in the order in which they are planned to be called with an identifier for
              each witnesses (parties, expert, a fact witness, a document custodian) including any anticipated
              scheduling problems.
              Witnesses not listed may be precluded from testifying at trial (unless a rebuttal witness.) [Note: This
              order does not replace or change the requirements of Practice Book §13-4 regarding the manner and
              time for expert disclosure.]
              6. An estimate as to the amount of time required for jury selection (if a jury trial).
              7. An estimate of the amount of time necessary to try the case.
              FBTCV196085514S             7/13/2020                                                                           Page 1 of 2
              8. A statement as to any anticipated scheduling problems other than those involving witnesses, which
              must be set forth as required in paragraph 5.
              Preliminary requests to charge, proposed verdict forms and any requests for jury interrogatories must be
              filed before the start of evidence or as directed by the court (if a jury trial.)


              Before the start of evidence, all exhibits each side reasonably expects to introduce must be exchanged
              and pre-marked in accordance with the instructions contained in form JD-CL-28 regarding Lists of
              Exhibits. Any exhibit offered at trial that is not on a List of Exhibits may be precluded, except for good
              cause shown or unless the exhibit involves rebuttal or impeachment evidence.


              Before the start of evidence, the parties shall communicate with each other about whether objections
              exist as to the admissibility of any exhibits. Counsel shall endeavor to agree on all redactions before the
              start of evidence.


              The parties shall give the courtroom clerk copies of the Lists of Exhibits only. The parties shall retain
              possession of the exhibits (and shall NOT give the exhibits to the courtroom clerk) until offered during
              the trial. Any agreement to mark a document as a full exhibit must be stated on the record. No document
              will be marked by the courtroom clerk either for identification or as a full exhibit absent direction from
              the court on the record (unless otherwise ordered by the trial judge.)


              The parties are advised that discovery disputes should be addressed prior to trial to the extent possible
              pursuant to the procedures provided under Chapter 13 of the Practice Book. Motions in Limine and
              Motions to Preclude are disfavored when directed to discovery issues that could have been addressed
              and resolved through pretrial motions available under Chapter 13 of the Practice Book and filed during
              the time period scheduled for discovery.
