Local Rule LR 16.6: PRETRIAL OBJECTIONS TO TRIAL EXHIBITS, DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY

LR 16.6 PRETRIAL OBJECTIONS TO TRIAL EXHIBITS, DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY

(A) Exhibits. The pretrial order requires a separate, typed listing of each party's objections to the exhibits of another party. The objections shall be attached to the exhibit list of the party against whom the objections are raised. Objections as to authenticity, privilege, competency, and, to the extent possible, relevancy of the exhibits shall be included. Any listed document to which an objection is not raised shall be deemed to have been stipulated as to authenticity by the parties, and such documents will be admitted at trial without further proof of authenticity. The pretrial order also requires each party to state any objections the party may have to the use at trial of copies of documentary evidence.

(B) Testimony. Each party is required to list all persons whose testimony at trial will be given by deposition and to designate the portions of each person's deposition which will be introduced. Objections that have not been filed by the date on which the case is first scheduled for trial shall be deemed waived or abandoned. Extraneous and unnecessary matters, including non-essential colloquy of counsel, shall not be permitted to be read into evidence. No depositions shall be permitted to go out with the jury.
