February 3, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 86 ORDER signed by Judge Garland E. Burrell, Jr on 2/3/12 ORDERING the proposed qualified immunity jury instructions are an inadequate guide for the jury's deliberation since they do not explain instructed terms. In light of this ruling on how the qualified immunity affirmative defense will be decided, the 59 Final Pretrial Order is supplemented with this order. (Donati, J)
January 31, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 83 ORDER signed by Judge Garland E. Burrell, Jr on 1/30/12; Defendants have not shown that the decedent's father is an "indispensable party" under Rule 19(b); they only argue that he is a "necessary" party. (Def.'s Brief 5: 20-22.) Further, Defendants have not shown that their failure to object in their first responsive pleading to the absence of the decedent's father as a party does not constitute waiver of the issue. Therefore, Defendants' "standing" arguments on Plaintiff's wrongful death claim are disregarded.(Matson, R)

January 11, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 73 ORDER signed by Judge Garland E. Burrell, Jr. on 1/11/2012 ORDERING that Defendants filed a trial brief on 1/10/2012, in which they argue "Plaintiff has no standing to assert Fourth Amendment claims personal to decedent" since "she has not (and cannot) satisfy the requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 377.32." (ECF No. 71 , 6:14-18.) "On this basis," Defendants argue, "any claims asserted on behalf of decedent should be dismissed." Id . at 6:17-18. Defendants did not raise this standing issue in law and motion, and the prescribed last hearing date for such matters has passed. However, since it is unclear whether Plaintiff's standing to "assert claims on behalf of deceden t" concerns the Court's jurisdiction over some of Plaintiff's claims, each party shall file a brief addressing these matters no later than 4:00 p.m. on 1/17/2012. Any response brief shall be filed no later than 4:00 p.m. on 1/20/2012. (Zignago, K.)
