PRETRIAL ORDER
(a) Preparation of Pretrial Order. The Court, or a party if so directed by the
Court, shall prepare a proposed pretrial order, serve a copy thereof on all parties, and

fourteen (14) days after the pretrial conference. Any party upon whom the proposed
pretrial order is served may, within the time permitted in the proposed pretrial order,
submit objections to the proposed pretrial order and, in so doing, shall set forth the basis
of the objections and any changes to be made in the proposed pretrial order.
(b) Contents of Pretrial Order. All pretrial orders shall recite the appearances
and representations (and any non-appearances) at the pretrial conference and the action
taken by the Court and agreements made by the parties with respect to each of the items
discussed at the conference, except that parties shall not refer to settlement negotiations.
All pretrial orders shall conclude by setting the date for the trial and stating the Court's
estimate of the number of court days required for the trial.
(c) Pretrial Order to Control. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16.
