I understand that Marina Coast believes the first two issues will be disposed on summary judgment. They may or
may not be, and the parties should not assume the motion will be decided in time to make much of a difference to
trial planning.

Counsel must be familiar with these cases before drafting MILs. Amtower v. Photon Dynamics, Inc., !58
Cai.App.4th 1582 (2008); Kelly v. New West Federal Savings, 49 Cai.App.4th 659 (1996); and R & B Auto Center,
Inc. v. Farmers Group, Inc., 140 Cai.App.4th 327 (2006) (Rylaarsdam, Acting P.J., concurring). No MIL should be
filed unless it is impractical to raise the issue at trial. MILs should not be used to highlight or forecast an issue for
the Court: That is a function of the trial brief.
